Dr. John Guthman and his colleagues found that moderate to severe depression had increased from 34 percent to 41 percent among the 3,000 college students whose medical records were analyzed. For their research, Guthman and his colleagues looked at the counseling records of 3,256 students at the private university over a 12-year period, between September 1997 and August 2009. It was found that between 1998 and 2009, the number of students coming into counseling who were diagnosed with at least one mental disorder increased 3 per cent, from 93 to 96 per cent. On the other hand, the number of students who reported having suicidal thoughts after two weeks of counseling dropped from 26 in 1998 to eleven percent in 2009College life may not be the reason for the rise in severe depression, but rather more students are arriving on campus with pre-existing mental health issues, said the researchers who presented the study at the 118th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association in San Diego.The use of prescription medications by students to treat psychiatric illness has also risen significantly over the past decade, the research team noted. Most students were diagnosed with mood and anxiety disorders as well as adjustment disorders or problems associated with significant impairment in functioning.
