All About Depression at College
Today I’m talking about depression in college students. I’m going over what depression is and what it isn’t and what parents can do to help their struggling college student. I’m also going to give a brief overview of where diagnoses are listed. There's so much to cover when discussing depression so I think understanding the diagnostic context as well as the strategies parents can use are essential. It's not a single mental health challenge. Depression comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Hopefully this provides you with a solid basis from which to better understand what your college student is dealing with and what you can do about it.
