College Students’ Mental Health Declining

An Associated Press article posted today states that college students’ mental health is declining. These points are mentioned in the article:

  • “One percent of students who answered a question about binge drinking reported going on a binge 10 or more times in the previous two weeks. Nearly half of those respondents said they had seriously considered suicide in the past.”
  • “The vast majority (93 percent) of students who responded to a question about campus violence had little to no fear of losing control and acting violently.”
  • “The 7 percent considered to have strong fears were most likely to be male and said they had previously harmed another person. They also tended to have experienced a cluster of other symptoms, such as a fear of having a panic attack or suicidal thoughts.”
