Stress typically results from the challenge of adjusting to transitions in life, and college is a time of significant change. Any disease, including hypertension, heart disease, ulcers and diabetes, have been found to have a strong correlation with stress. In addition, stress may aggravate or even be a causal factor in other conditions, such as headache, backache, skin disorders, indigestion, respiratory ailments, mental illness and accidental injuries. Stress in college can result from external sources such as academic demands or relationship conflicts, or from internally generated expectations for self. The stress response is very personal and varies for different students. Every one working at the university has contact with students. Sadly, many students experience severe psychological problems that may go unnoticed or ignored until it is too late. College students often face depression, anxiety relationship difficulties, and feelings of isolation fear of failure, family pressures, and ?difficulty in adjusting?. Without help, the pressure may build until it becomes a crisis situation (severe depression, suicidal thoughts and/or attempts, panic attacks etc). A psychological crisis situation occurs when the student feels unable to cope with the circumstances of his/her life. The more helpless the individual feels, the greater the crisis. A student's support system (including family friends, acquaintances etc) is critical. More extensive the support system, the better the prognosis of the student. Both psychological crisis and emergencies warrant an immediate call to the Student Health Center for crisis intervention. Crisis intervention, thus helps a person cope with the immediate situation and make a plan to address any ongoing problems. Qualified mental health professional can help people address the causes of their distress and teach them effective ways to deal with those causes. Every detection and treatment can head off serious consequences.
