Both this data and research purport that students with adequate social support have greater protection from major life stressors, and also adjust better to those stressful situations. A reduction in social support may explain some of the symptoms of depression. While these numbers may seem small, if it is you who is faced with a mental health crisis—your own, your roommate?...
