College Student Anxiety, Depression Levels Show Sharp Rise

University administrators say over 60 percent of college students report that their parents now expect them to work during the school year to help cover expenses.

The toll says Dr. Murray is sometimes students can barely make it to class on time or turn in assignments on time. Professors are dealing with an increase in cheating, shoddy research, slipping GPA’s and a subject that isn’t often discussed: the mental health of college students.

“Mentally and physically I see more students suffering from depression and anxiety. The economy has only added to the stress.”  - New America Media
