Counseling and Psychological Services must do more
Within a study contained in the 2018 report by the American College Health Association (ACHA), over 60 percent of students reported having felt overwhelming anxiety over the course of the previous 12 months and approximately 40 percent of students reported having trouble functioning due to depression in the same time frame. With these worrisome numbers, many colleges have taken initiatives to help students with any mental illness issues that they may have, and Princeton is doing its part as well. However, their efforts simply aren’t enough.
