1.Anxiety has now surpassed depression as the most common mental health disease among college students,though depression,too,is on the rise.More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern,according to a recent study of more than 100,000students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State.Nearly one in six college students has been diagnosed with or treated for anxiety within the last 12months,according to the annual national survey by the American College Health Association.
The causes range widely,experts say,from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media.Anxiety has always played a role in the development of a student's life,but now more students experience anxiety so acute that they are seeking professional help.Like many college clinics,the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of Central Florida (UCF)-one of the country's largest and fastest-growing universities,has seen sharp increases in the number of clients:15.2percent over last year alone.
Anxiety has become characteristic of the current generation of college students,said Dan Jones,the director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Appalachian State University in Boone,N.C.Because of increasingly pressures during high school,he and other experts say,students arrive at college preloaded with stress.Accustomed to extreme parental oversight,many seem unable to govern themselves.And with parents so accessible,students have had less incentive to develop life skills."They can't tolerate discomfort or having to struggle,"Dr Jones said.
More often,anxiety is mild and temporary,the indication of a student under the control of a normal developmental issue-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 (分診措施).That means that students with less urgent needs may wait several weeks for first appointments.
Like many college counseling centers,UCF has designed a variety of daily workshops and therapy groups that implicitly and explicitly address anxiety,depression and their triggers.Next fall the center will test a new app for treating anxiety with a seven-module cognitive behavioral program,accessible through a student's phone and augmented with brief videoconferences with a therapist.It also offers semester-long,90-minute weekly therapy groups,such as"Keeping Calm and in Control","Mindfulness for Depression"and"Building Social Confidence"-for students struggling with social anxiety.
