Title: College student depression
College student depression has been an issue that most of our students are fighting against
within themselves. Anxiety is among the top concerns amongst our college students and it is an
issue that needs urgent actions to be taken. I decided to talk about this problem because the school
realized that most students are recording absenteeism and low grades. It is important to address this
issue because Following research done, 40% of our students are in depression.the st
Anxiety, relationship troubles, lack of sleep, poor diets and eating habits, and a lack of
regular workouts are some of the major causes of student sadness, according to study conducted by
the management. These aren’t the sole causes of depression, therefore it’s critical to involve our
children in discussions that allow them to open up about their issues.
Having a high number of students suffering from depression is very disappointing. The
future of our nation depends on our students and being in our college it is our responsibility to help
them out. Most of the students have been having difficulty in concentration, their performances
have dropped, some will always look exhausted, and some have joined alcoholism. This is a result
of depression that the college students are going through. The impact of depression not only affects

the school performances but also the mental ability of our students. They are constantly in a
subconscious state with themselves.
This memo is to call upon every staff to help our students overcome depression and
anxiety. This can be possible if we create more time to interact and offer a listening hear to them.
Through this, they will feel comfortable and will be able to speak out about the problems they face.
Thank you.
