Anxiety has now surpassed depression as the most common mental health disease among college students, though depression, too, is on the rise. More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State. Nearly one in six college students has been diagnosed with or treated for anxiety within the last 12 months, according to the annual national survey by the American College Health Association.
The causes range widely, experts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media. Anxiety has always played a role in the development of a student’s life, but now more students experience anxiety so acute that they are seeking professional help. Like many college clinics, the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of central Florida (UCF)- one of the country’s largest and fastest-growing universities, has seen sharp increases in the number of clients: 15.2 percent over last year alone.
Anxiety has become characteristic of the current generation of college students, said Dan Jones, the director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Appalachian State University in Boone, N. C. Because of increasingly pressures during high school, he and other experts say, students arrive at college preloaded with stress. Accustomed to extreme parental oversight, many seem unable to govern themselves. And with parents so accessible, students have had less incentive to develop life skills. “They can’t tolerate discomfort or having to struggle,” Dr Jones said.
More often, anxiety is mild and temporary, the indication of a student under the control of a normal deve lopmental issue-learning time management, for example, or how to handle rejection from a sorority. Mild anxiety is often treatable with early, modest interventions. But to care for rising numbers of severely troubled students, many counseling centers have moved to triage protocols (分诊措施). That means that students with less urgent needs may wait several weeks for first appointments.
Like many college counseling centers, UCF has designed a variety of daily workshops and therapy groups that implicitly and explicitly address anxiety, depression and their triggers. Next fall the center will test a new app for treating anxiety with a seven-module cognitive behavioral program, accessible through a student’s phone and augmented with brief videoconferences with a therapist. It also offers semester-long, 90-minute weekly therapy groups, such as “Keeping Calm and in Control”, “Mindfulness for Depression” and “Building Social Confidence” -for students struggling with social anxiety.
焦虑已经超过抑郁,成为大学生中最常见的心理健康疾病,尽管抑郁也在上升。宾夕法尼亚州立大学大学心理健康中心最近对全国10多万名学生进行的一项研究显示,在参观校园诊所的学生中,超过一半的人认为焦虑是一种健康问题。根据美国大学健康协会的年度全国调查,近六分之一的大学生在过去12个月内被诊断患有焦虑症或接受过焦虑治疗。
专家表示,造成这种情况的原因很广泛,从早期的学业压力越来越大,到父母过度保护,再到社交媒体的参与。焦虑一直在学生生活的发展中发挥着作用,但现在越来越多的学生感到焦虑,以至于他们正在寻求专业帮助。与许多大学诊所一样,美国最大、发展最快的大学之一中佛罗里达大学的咨询和心理服务中心的客户数量急剧增加:仅去年一年就增加了15.2%。
北卡罗来纳州布恩市阿巴拉契亚州立大学咨询和心理服务主任丹·琼斯说,焦虑已经成为当代大学生的特征。许多人习惯了父母的极端监督,似乎无法自我管理。而且,由于父母如此平易近人,学生发展生活技能的动机也减少了。“他们无法忍受不适或挣扎,”Jones博士说。
更常见的情况是,焦虑是轻微的、暂时的,这表明学生处于正常发展问题的控制之下,例如学习时间管理,或者如何处理女生联谊会的拒绝。轻度焦虑通常可以通过早期适度的干预来治疗。但为了照顾越来越多的严重问题学生,许多咨询中心已经采取了分流协议(分诊措施). 这意味着需求不那么迫切的学生可能要等上几个星期才能得到第一次预约。
与许多大学咨询中心一样,UCF设计了各种日常研讨会和治疗小组,含蓄而明确地解决焦虑、抑郁及其诱因。明年秋天,该中心将测试一款新的治疗焦虑的应用程序,该应用程序由七个模块组成,可以通过学生的手机访问,并通过与治疗师的简短视频会议进行增强。它还为患有社交焦虑的学生提供为期一学期、每周90分钟的治疗小组,如“保持冷静和控制”、“抑郁症的正念”和“建立社交信心”。
