Majority of the respondents answered that there was an increase in feelings of sadness, loneliness, uneasiness, and worry. It was interesting to find that not many college students were aware of the rising suicide rates among college students.  If a student is struggling with their mental health, I encourage them to reach out to mental health hotlines or somebody they trust who can help them receive the help they deserve.
