Anxiety and Depression Association of America reports that around 30% of students say they have felt so depressed “that it negatively affected their academic performance.” Even so, the rate of suicide among college students is much lower than that of the general population. According to CBS News, 1 in 5 college students are so stressed out they considered committing suicide. Somewhere between 6 and 8 percent of college students report having serious suicidal thoughts, but only around 1 percent of students will actually attempt suicide each year.
