The deaths of seven Indian college students across the United States in less than two months have shocked the community and raised serious questions about how they could have been prevented. Although the deaths are unrelated, there is concern about students' mental health particularly among those in the Indian community, experts told ABC News. The incidents involved Indian students from different universities, and range from death by suicides, accidental overdoses and a brutal assault, according to authorities.
Understanding why many Asian Americans don’t seek mental health care like stigma and lack of culturally appropriate resources is essential to providing effective support.
