Undergraduates have started to realize how common mental illness is at the College, according to Director of UHS Mental Health Service Dr. Richard D. Kadison.
She saw several UHS clinicians, tried half a dozen medications and took two months off from school to try to cope with her severe anxiety.
By her junior year, she was a self-described “pill popper” and visited a UHS-affiliated clinician three times per week.
UHS does not calculate exact numbers, Kadison says, because it is difficult to determine what constitutes a suicide attempt.
About 1,800 graduates and undergraduates visit UHS Mental Health Services every year, Kadison estimates.
