W: Good evening, everybody.(1)Anxiety has now surpassed depression as the most common mental health diagnosis among college students, though depression, too, is on the rise. More than half of the students visiting campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State. Today we have psychiatrist Dr. Brown to join us.
M: Thank you, Lucy.
W: Tell me how serious anxiety among university students is nowadays.
M: Nearly one in six college students has been diagnosed with or treated for anxiety within the last 12 months, according to the annual national survey by the American College Health Association.
W: What are the causes then?
M:(2)The causes range widely from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents and compulsive engagement with social media. Anxiety has always played a role in the developmental drama of a student’s life, but now more students experience anxiety so intense and overwhelming that they are seeking professional counseling.
W: I guess as students finish a college year during which these cases continued to spike, the consensus among therapists is that treating anxiety has become an enormous challenge for campus mental health centers.
M: Indeed.(3)Like many college clinics, the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of Central Florida—one of the country’s largest and fastest-growing universities, with roughly 60,000 students— has seen sharp increases in the number of clients: 15.2 percent last year alone. The center has grown so rapidly that some supplied closets have been converted to therapists’ offices.
W: Why is it suddenly increasing there?
M: More students are seeking help partly because the stigma around mental health issues is lessening. Anxiety has become emblematic for the current generation of college students.
W: Why is that?
M: Because of escalating pressures during high school, students arrive at college preloaded with stress. Accustomed to extreme parental oversight, many students seem unable to steer themselves. And with parents so accessible, they have had less incentive to develop life skills.
W: But I bet social media plays another important role too.
M: Yes.(4)Social media is a gnawing, roiling constant. As students see posts about everyone else’s fabulous experiences, the inevitable comparisons erode their self-esteem The popular term is "FOMO"—fear of missing out.
W: Anxiety is an umbrella term for several disorders, including social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia. It can accompany many other diagnoses, such as depression, and it can be persistent and incapacitating. Students who suffer from this acute manifestation can feel their very real struggles are shrugged off, because anxiety has become so ubiquitous, almost a cliche, on campus.
M: But more often, anxiety is mild, intermittent or temporary. The manifestation of a student in the grip of a normal developmental issue can be learning time management, for example, or how to handle rejection from a sorority. Mild anxiety is often treatable with early, modest interventions. But to care for rising numbers of severely troubled students, many counseling centers have moved to triage protocols. That means that students with less urgent needs may wait several weeks for first appointments.
W: What is your advice then?
M: By necessity, most centers can only offer individual therapy on a short-term basis. About 80 percent of clients only need limited therapy. Students are busting their butts academically: they’re financially strapped, working three jobs.(5)There’s nothing diagnosable, but sometimes they just need a place to express their distress.
W: Let’s wish they could get their problems solved in the near future. Thank you for your valuable advice.
