In many ways, the time spent seeking an education at a college or university can be some of the best years of a person’s life. College students are usually just entering adulthood. Their academic programs present them with all kinds of new information and ideas. And even given the many demands on their time from their studies, the students often have the freedom to explore their identities and other outside interests. But a person’s college years can also present difficulties. Sometimes, the challenges of academic success, making new friends and living far from home may feel like more than one person can deal with alone. In fact, more and more college students in the United States have reported suffering from anxiety and depression, says Monica Osburn. She heads the Counseling Center and Prevention Services at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. Osburn says it is important for students to have access to mental health services on campus.
