Concept
Overall Mental Health of College Students
- Having a disability does not seem to have any impact on eating concerns, hostility, family distress, or depression - there are indicators that disability status has an impact on academic distress and anxiety
- Students with a disability score higher on suicide ideation than their nondisabled peers, however, those in counseling have lower suicidal ideation than those not receiving mental health help
- Disability type influences the type of mental health issues experienced: for example, students with physical disabilities had lower scores than students with psychological disabilities on anxiety (social and generalized), hostility, and depression
