More College Kids On Meds Than Ever Before
According to a recent study conducted by the American Psychological Association there are now more college kids in the U.S. on Psychological medications than ever before in history. That might explain some of the weird behavior in college kids these days. There is a marked increase in depression and anxiety among the college crowd and they are taking more psychological medications to cope than ever. According to the study depression has increased by 40% over the last ten years. The study involved more than 3200 college kids who were followed between 1997 and 2009 and it discovered that 24% of them were on some kind of prescribed drug for Anxiety. Usually the students who were suffering the most were those who were labled in the study as "Socially Isolated."
