College Success: Keeping Up with Mental Health
In many ways, the time spent seeking an education at a college or university can be some of the best years of a person's life.
College students are usually just entering adulthood. Their academic programs present them with all kinds of new information and ideas.
And even given the many demands on their time from their studies, the students often have the freedom to explore their identities and other outside interests.
But a person's college years can also present difficulties.
Sometimes, the challenges of academic success, making new friends and living far from home may feel like more than one person can deal with alone.
In fact, more and more college students in the United States have reported suffering from anxiety and depression, says Monica Osburn.
She heads the Counseling Center and Prevention Services at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Osburn says it is important for students to have access to mental health services on campus.
Off-campus options are likely too costly and difficult to get to for many students.
Research shows that having access to mental health services can help prevent students from dropping out of college, Osburn adds.
Such services can make students feel more like their school really cares about them。
Osburn believes it is a good sign that more students are seeking mental health services.
That means more of them are trying to find solutions to difficulties or problems they are facing.
"Half the battle, sometimes, is walking through the door, because there can be a lot of stigma with asking for help or receiving mental health counseling,
especially if you are an international student who may not have counseling services at home," Osburn told VOA.
"So being able to come in, ask questions, see what the office looks like, will go a long way in breaking down some of those barriers."
College students may struggle with many kinds of unhealthy behaviors.
For example, they often ignore their need for sleep because they want to spend time with their friends. Or they might stay up all night to study for a big test.
One night of poor sleep may not be a major issue, Osburn says. But if it happens again and again, a student's mental health may suffer.
The worst part, Osburn says, is that many students may not even recognize what they are experiencing as a mental health problem.
"A lot of students don't think about mental health and the outcomes there," said Osburn.
"Their symptoms might look more like physical symptoms, like being physically sick... when man... of those could be symptoms of anxiety."
Osburn urges any student who is facing problems or experiencing feelings they do not understand to visit their school's counseling center.
These centers employ trained mental health experts who will discuss these issues privately with the student.
Once a student meets with one of these experts, they can start to explore the things they are dealing with and what they might want from counseling.
This can include general skills to deal with common problems or just talking through a given issue.
From there, students can plan ongoing individual meetings with a mental health expert.
Or, the expert can connect the student with groups of students having similar problems, says Osburn. Campus counseling can sometimes even help students find the support they need elsewhere.
"Not every student needs therapy," she said.
"But if a student comes in … and we know they're struggling … it might be related to food insecurity or some sort of financial issue ...
Since we know the resources on campus so well, then we can connect that student with those resources, teach them … how to work through those new systems … and then problem-solve."

在大学中获得成功，就要保持心理健康
在许多方面，在大学或学院求学的时光可能是一个人一生中最美好的几年。
大学生通常刚刚进入成年期，他们的学术课程向他们提供各种新的信息和观念。
尽管学生们要花费大量的时间用来学习，但他们经常也可以自由地去探索自己的身份和其他兴趣爱好。
但是一个人的大学生活也会给他们带来困难。
有时，学业成功、结交新朋友和远离家人生活等各种挑战，可能会让人觉得难以独自应对。
北卡罗来纳州罗利市北卡罗来纳州立大学咨询中心和预防服务中心的负责人，莫妮卡·奥斯本表示，
事实上，越来越多的美国大学生报告说，他们患有焦虑和抑郁。
奥斯本说，学生在校园内获得心理健康服务是很重要的。
对于许多学生来说，在校外接受咨询可能成本太高，而且很难实现。
奥斯本补充道，研究表明，获得心理健康服务有助于防止学生辍学。
这样的服务可以让学生感觉到学校真的关心他们。
奥斯本认为这是一个好迹象，表明越来越多的学生正在寻求心理健康服务。
这意味着，更多的学生正试图找到解决他们所面临困难或问题的方法。
奥斯本接受美国之音采访时说：“有时候，有一半的争斗发生在要敢于迈出这一步上，因为寻求帮助或接受心理健康咨询会让人感到很耻辱，
尤其是如果你是一名国际生，可能在本国没有咨询服务。
因此，能够走进咨询室，询问一些问题，看看咨询室的样子，在攻破这些障碍方面会有很大的帮助。”
大学生可能会遭遇各种不健康的行为。
例如，他们经常忽略睡眠需求，因为他们想与朋友共度时光，或者他们可能会熬夜学习，为一个重大的考试备考。
奥斯本说，睡眠不足可能不是主要问题，但如果这种情况反复发生，学生的心理健康可能会受到影响。
最糟糕的情况是，许多学生甚至可能没意识到他们所经历的是心理健康问题。
奥斯本说：“很多学生没有考虑心理健康及其后果。
他们的症状看起来更像躯体症状，比如身体不适，或是出现焦虑的症状。”
奥斯本力劝那些遇到问题或被自己的情绪所困扰的学生，去访问学校的咨询中心。
这些中心雇有受过训练的心理健康专家，他们将私下与学生讨论这些问题。
学生与其中一位专家会面时，就可以开始探索他们正在处理的事情，以及他们可能从咨询中想要获得的东西，
包括处理常见问题的一般技能或仅仅通过给定的问题进行交谈。
学生以此可以与心理健康专家规划要进行的个人会谈。
或者，专家可以把学生和有类似问题的学生群体聚集到一起，奥斯本说。有时，校园咨询甚至可以帮助学生找到他们在其他方面需要的支持。
“不是每个学生都需要治疗，”她说。
“但是，如果有一位学生进来，我们就知道他们遇到了问题，这可能与食物不安全或财务问题有关。
因为我们对校园资源非常了解，所以我们可以将学生与这些资源联结起来，教导他们如何利用这些新系统解决问题。”
