Seattle Post-Intelligencer: College students seek therapy in record numbers
The number of UW students seeking new medical evaluations for mental health problems such as depression and anxiety has nearly tripled in the past five years.
At SPU, one-fifth of its undergraduate student body has sought therapy, many of the students reporting that they were suffering from stress.
Universities around the country — including the University of Washington, Seattle Pacific University and Seattle University — are reporting increases in campus mental illness, at times creating a backlog of cases and weeks-long waits to see a therapist.
