College students battle stress and depression
A recent survey of 40 randomly selected colleges conducted by the Associated Press and mtvU found some surprising results about college students and their moods. This survey covered depression, stress, alcohol and drug use, diagnosis of mental disorders, optimism, and more. While many of the results show that students experience many negative moods, all is not lost. Six of ten students report themselves as hopeful about the future, but anxiety and stress still play a large role in our lives.
Four in 10 students say they endure stress often. Nearly one if five say they feel it all or most of the time. But most are bearing it. Nearly two-thirds in the survey say they enjoy life.
Majorities cite classic stress symptoms including trouble concentrating, sleeping and finding motivation. Most say they have also been agitated, worried, too tired to work.
