There is little empirical research on how the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted

college students' mental health in the United States, despite the fact that undergraduate students have
experienced major changes as a result of the epidemic. This study covers the stress, anxiety, and
depressive symptoms, as well as the use of mental health services, among students at a public research
institution in Kentucky during the early stages of COVID-19. According to the findings, 88% of students
reported moderate to severe stress, 44% reported moderate to severe anxiety, and 36% reported
moderate to severe depression. Female, rural, low-income, and academically struggling children in
particular were more prone to these mental health problems. Most students with moderate or severe
mental health issues, however, never sought out mental health treatments. Our findings suggest
proactive student outreach, the identification of students at risk for mental health problems (Jeong
2021).
