Daten über einen Zeitraum von 15 Jahren zeigen, dass die Depressionssymptome bei amerikanischen College-Studenten zugenommen haben, wobei der stärkste Anstieg nach 2016 zu verzeichnen war. Während die Not auf breiter Front zunimmt, ist die Eskalation bei Frauen, ethnischen Minderheiten und Studenten mit finanziellen Schwierigkeiten besonders stark.

**Data from 560,000 students reveals a disturbing mental health shift after 2016**
A comprehensive analysis of **data spanning fifteen years reveals that depression symptoms have increased among college students in the United States, with the most severe rises occurring after 2016. The findings indicate that while distress is growing across the board, the escalation is particularly steep for women, racial minorities, and students facing financial difficulties**. These results were published in the Journal of Affective Disorders.
For those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

What does „depression symptoms“ mean, as opposed to clinical depression and normal life emotions?
Are these patients who have been diagnosed with clinical depression by a doctor, and whose symptoms are more pronounced than past patients?
Or are these survey respondents who reports feeling depressed?
“With most severe rises occurring after 2016.”
Hmm I wonder what happened around that time period specifically that might have caused this trend?! It’s a complete mystery to me. /srs.
yeah getting a basic education costs as much as a high end sedan with inescapable debt attached to it, with many degrees that are lucrative when you start, being useless when you graduate because the industry you go into either gets saturated, or filled with foreign workers who will work the same high end job for 20% of the cost of hiring you, and they can be deported at any time by an angry boss.
Cant imagine why college students are depressed. They realize their education goals are worthless.
Then tack on the political bs and the socioeconomic factors and it’s no wonder many younger kids who were born after 2010 are telling their parents they arent even bothering with college.
