Depression Among College Students

Alyssa Moore

This project is focused on the social roots of depression in college students. Depression can be a struggle to get through when you are in college. Many college students tend to struggle with depression more in college than they were in high school. It can be a defining moment for a college student on whether they want to try to continue with school or just give up. Many young people have struggled with depression and might not have said anything to any one about it. Depression rates among college students keep getting higher as the years go on. What can college students do to help them through?
