Depression and Anxiety are Issues Prevalent Issues Among Students

In 2006, according to the American College Health Association Survey, it was found that 36% of men and 45% of women faced depression which interfered with completing their day-to-day tasks. These numbers are concerning and reflect that while transition can be exciting and positive, it can also cause stress that can be experienced in negative ways.

Although some students feel symptoms of depression and anxiety and do not seek help, it does not mean that you should refrain from seeking the help you deserve and need. With the help of an understanding therapist or other mental health professional, you can get support as you navigate through challenges and difficulties. A new environment like college can be extremely taxing. Perhaps college is the first time that you will be away from your family and friends for an extended period of time. And even if it is not, other stressors like academics can put a toll on your mental wellbeing, and therefore your physical health.

Think of a Therapist as a Support Who Helps You Through your Individual Path

At LunaJoy, our telepsychiatrists, physician associates, therapists and counselors have vast experience in supporting people through their hard times and helping you gain insight which will be valuable in your process of gaining autonomy and shaping your future. Above all, we prioritize your mental health and well-being. In our sessions, we blend conventional interventions with holistic approaches in order to ensure that your emotional needs are addressed and met.

Why Can’t I Just Talk to My Friends or Family About My Issues?

While talking to friends and family can certainly help your mental state, it is important to see how talking to a trained professional can make far more of a difference. Many students feel alone at college, as they no longer have their family and longtime friends around them to help. Although you will surely make friends throughout your college career, you may not feel fully connected in the beginning. This means that you may not be willing to be vulnerable with the people around you, especially if you do not know if you can fully trust these new people with your inner thoughts and feelings. Talking to a trained professional means that you will be guaranteed someone who is able to use telecounseling strategies which have been proven effective to guide you through your issues and ensure confidentiality.

Why Can’t I Deal With My Problems Alone?

College can feel very isolating if you are not able to make close friends quickly. While a mental health professional is not your friend per se, a counselor, therapist, or doctor is a trained professional who is able to help you through your mental health issues and give you a space to understand and examine your feelings. In addition, if you feel like you have no one in your life to talk to about your issues, you may begin to feel even more lonely which can exacerbate stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Sometimes, you might connect with a counselor on your college campus, but often university health systems only offer a few limited sessions, and it can be helpful to see someone online to reduce your commute time and increase your continuity.
