students. American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 79(4), 491-499. doi:10.1037/a0016918

This source focuses on the different mental issues students in college have, as well as

students who do not have mental issues. They wanted to see the difference between mental

health students in the class with social support in a large classroom. They also wanted to see

the correlation between race, ethnicity, and the type of mental issue. They also discovered that

students with lower quality social support tend to have more mental issues related to depression

and isolation. This information can be used for health care professionals and administrators to

better assess student population.

According to the Journal for Adolescent health, they screened 352 youth, and their

findings were that 60% of them had substance use issues, which results in a poor student activity

in class. (Clemens pg., 2) They also claim that unprotected sex, and HIV infected youth raises

the rates for problem behaviors in students.

Dr. Sal Raichbach states that 86 percent of students who do have a psychiatric disability,

or mental health issue leave school without completing their degree, and almost 90 percent of

them commit suicide. He believes that colleges and universities are just now accepting this trend

as well as being public as to resources for these students. It has only been recent that this is not

as taboo as before. “Substance abuse in college can quickly derail a student’s future if it goes

unchecked, but it doesn’t have to be that way.” (Raichbach pg, 1)

Katie Rieley writes about a student named Nelley Springer, a normal college student who

played Division 1 soccer. Rieley beings to talk about Springer’s declining happiness at school. “I

was running myself so thin trying to be the best college student,” Springer says. “It almost seems

like they’re setting you up to fail because of the sheer amount of work and the number of classes

you have to take at the same time, and how you’re also expected to do so much.” (Rieley Pg 1)

As course work intensifies for students, so does wait times for treatment and counselling centers

in schools. Virginia tech, and Ohio State University have added many more stations in populated

locations around their schools to provide assistance to these students with developing mental

health.

about who they are. Sadick states an example with a girl named Evelyn Wallace, who suffered

trauma at the age of three years old Her first year in the college dorms were not easy. "I've found

a place on campus where people not only know my whole story, but are looking out for me and

empowering me to pursue what I really care about, while at the same time helping me feel

appreciated even on the days when I have difficulty getting myself to class," Wallace says.
