A Bit of Background
While some students enter college with a history
of mental illness, many develop General Anx-
iety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and
other disorders while in university. College-aged
students are susceptible to developing men-
tal illnesses due to their age and developing
brains. Research shows that the most “high-risk
age group” for developing mental illnesses is
between 18 and 25, meaning mental illnesses
are more prevalent on campuses than in general
society (Cook 41).
