Mental health is an issue that does not discriminate based on age, gender, or sexual orientation. It is a weight that many people all over the world struggle with but one group that demonstrates the intense effect it can have on all aspects of one’s life is college students.
Evan Burley, a Staff Reporter, writes in his article that eighty percent of college students feel overwhelmed as a student, fifty percent rated their mental health as poor or below average, and fifty percent have struggled greatly from anxiety and therefore school. Even though certain mental health issues like anxiety and depression are some of the most common it can also take the form of addiction and eating disorders, but even with all of these forms forty percent of students still do not seek help.
