Do I Need Counseling?

Everyone occasionally feels stressed-out, angry, depressed, anxious, or confused. Often, friends or a relative can help. However, when these problems do not go away or they become overwhelming, counseling can help.

The following problems are commonly reported by college students seeking counseling:

• Drinking too much and/or taking drugs
• Problems with eating or sleeping
• Difficulty concentrating
• Feeling helpless or hopeless
• Feeling so anxious, afraid or depressed that activities and/or relationships are affected
• Performing poorly at work and/or school
• Physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse
• Fluctuating mood swings
• Low self-esteem
• Having reactions to an event that seem in excess of what might be expected
• Experiencing a crisis or stressful event, such as a death in the family, divorce, or break-up
• Thoughts of suicide
• Conflict with a significant other
• Difficulty adjusting to college
