Age range of a traditional college student
Reflect on the following statistics from 2019:
In the last 12 months, 75% of college students felt overwhelmed and exhausted by everything they had to do.
In the last 12 months, 55% of college students felt very lonely.
In the last 12 months, 45% of college students felt hopeless.
Approximately 60% of college students show signs and symptoms of depression and/or anxiety.
Go digging. Why is this happening? This is much higher than the national average (18% anxiety and 8% depression).
Is there something unique about the age range of a traditional college student? Is there something else going on? Why do you think the rates are so high?
What do you think could help lower the rates?
