According to the American Psychological Association*, 61 percent of college students who sought counseling reported anxiety, according to a survey. Other concerns included depression (49 percent), stress (45 percent), family issues (31 percent), academic performance (28 percent) and relationship problems (27 percent).
Adult college students may have an advantage because they have had more time to learn how to manage stress. Do you agree with the results of this survey? Why or why not? (Discuss based on your own experiences as well as the available research, provide your sources in APA format).
