As Opinion columnist Bobby Doyle correctly pointed out in his op-ed earlier this week, the University is taking part in a very important dialogue regarding the mental health of our students. With the tragedies of last semester, our students are at an exponentially greater risk for depression and self-harm — which makes clarification of some of the points Doyle made extremely important. It is necessary that our students be accurately informed about the resources available to them regarding receiving aid for their mental health.

The Healthy Minds Survey conducted by the University in 2013 found that 33 percent of University students felt that they needed some kind of counseling, though only 17 percent actually sought help. Nationally, 37 percent of students felt they needed professional help while 18 percent received it. I think these statistics can provide some insight into how University students interpret their own mental health needs. Most every student at the University has heard the saying, “work hard, play hard.” Students at this elite university often feel obligated to go out on weekends, or at the very least have a very active social life, be super involved with multiple organizations (think: leadership positions) and — on top of all that — get amazing grades.
