College years are tough. Young adults enter college with many challenges—complicated family dynamics, identity issues, and extreme pressure to succeed, among others. Nearly half of American 18 to 24 years old are enrolled in college at least part-time. In addition to many normal developmental milestones that can cause emotional challenges, psychiatric disorders often first merge during these years. In the past decade, many studies have raised concerns about the emotional and mental well-being of students. It is not just “stress” – depression, anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, and other psychiatric issues seem to be on the rise in this population. In Mental Health Issues and the University Student, the author describes the current college mental health crisis and narrates how college mental health services have evolved along with changes in student populations. Students’ lifestyle problems and psychiatric concerns, using case vignettes to explore a variety of interventions will also be discussed.
