The coronavirus has taken a significant toll on many peopleâs mental health over the past year â specifically college-aged students â though universities are seeing less students seeking psychological services.
Penn Stateâs Center for Collegiate Mental Health released a five-part blog series spanning from February to March comparing the mental health of college students across the country before and during the pandemic.
One study found that with almost 50,000 students seeking services during the pandemic, only 33% of the students said their reason was related to the coronavirus.
In addition, CCMH found that there were 32% less students seeking treatment in fall 2020 compared to fall 2019.
