Depression
Students often experience symptoms of depression while trying to cope with the pressures of school, work, friends, and family. It can be difficult to refuel or regain energy to keep going. Regardless of their grades, students are equally vulnerable to depression and feeling overwhelmed.
It is normal to feel sad after a relationship ends, when someone you care about dies, or when you find yourself far from close friends and family. Stress can also leave you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted when facing a heavy workload, financial difficulties, or roommate problems.
However, these feelings will usually pass, and you will go back to experiencing good times with friends and family. But when the sadness doesn't go away and begins to interfere with your overall well being, you may want to consider being evaluated for depression.
