I bet you didn’t know that college students are in a high risk group for depression and a really high risk for suicide too. Make sure they know not to be afraid to ask for help if they need it. College stress is overwhelming at times, and many people feel embarrassed or ashamed to ask for help when their depression gets out of control. People should know that depression is a common and treatable problem that they don't have to deal with alone.

Keeping in touch with family and friends can also help alleviate the stress and worry that leads to depression.
