The Chronicle Report: Overwhelmed
| The Real Campus Mental-Health Crisis and New Models for Well-Being |
|
According to the national Healthy Minds study, which surveys thousands of undergraduates and graduates of all ages, the number of students meeting criteria for anxiety disorders has jumped from 17 percent to 31 percent in just six years. Additionally, the number of students who were diagnosed with major depression has more than doubled in the last decade.
The Chronicle's in-depth report, Overwhelmed, dives deeper into this trend and explores how to handle the surging demand for mental-health services, fulfill legal obligations, and make well-being an overarching campus-wide priority, not just during a crisis.
