Mental Health Therapy for Students
Being a student is stressful, but trying to juggle school
work and other responsibilities while experiencing mental illness can make it
even harder. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI),
approximately one in five youth aged 13–18 live with mental health conditions
and approximately 75 percent of people with mental health issues develop them
prior to the age of 24. Mental health conditions can feel debilitating and
scary, making some learners retreat inward rather than seek help. Students,
parents, and educators looking for information can find many resources in this
guide to help them live their best lives.
Students need therapy when they have problems they can't
cope with alone. Or they need help when problems affect how well they do, feel,
or act. If things don't get better on their own, students may need therapy so
things can improve. Sometimes, entire families need support while trying to
communicate, learn, and create boundaries.
