College of the overwhelmed : the campus mental health crisis and what to do about it / Richard Kadison, Theresa Foy DiGeronimo

According to statistics, almost half of all students will become seriously depressed during their post-secondary career and may engage repeatedly in binge drinking. They are faced with academic pressure, financial problems, feelings of social inadequacy and fear of sexual assault. They adopt self-destructive coping mechanisms such as eating disorders, drug abuse, cutting and suicide attempts.

Parents, college counsellors and administrators as well as students themselves will find helpful information in this book.
