In 2022, over three-quarters of college students (77%) experienced moderate to serious psychological distress.

35% of students were diagnosed with anxiety; 27% had depression.

Trauma, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, bipolar disorders, and substance use disorders are other mental health conditions affecting college students.

Almost 9 in 10 students (89%) who face academic challenges say they affect their mental health.

In 2021, 28% of students said they often feel isolated from others.

College athletes, especially in women's sports, experience heightened levels of negative mental health symptoms like anxiety, trouble sleeping, mental exhaustion, and feeling overwhelmed.
