Treatment for College Students and Young Adults
Children and Adolescents | Young Adults
The time between high school and your 30’s is a time of rapid change and transition. Decisions have to be made about career, relationships, and what kind of person you’d like to be. These decisions often come with ambivalence, anxiety, confusion, and depression. Some common problems associated with young adults:
1. Anxiety is the most common mental health diagnosis among college students and more than half of all college students visit college clinics to seek treatment for anxiety.
2. Increased avoidance (procrastination, difficulty making decisions independently, social anxiety and avoidance of social activities) in academic, employment, and social functioning.
3. The difficulties encountered by all family members when young adults move back in with parents after college.
4. The need to learn skills to cope with new independence and responsibilities.
5. Difficulties with substance use and abuse.
6. Confusion associated with identity formation around sexuality, professional development, and values.
