Get Help
If exercise isn't enough and you feel like you need more support, help is available at most college universities for free. Only 20% of college students across the United States are receiving treatment for depression and anxiety (Hunt, 2005, p.6). Inquire at your school on what resources are available to you. Don't be afraid to seek help! For best results, exercise should be done in conjunction with mental health treatments. Here's a few popular resources:
Counseling
Trained clinicians offer advise to students whether it be school-related, social, or psychological. The main purpose is to provide support and allow students to maximize their experience in college. If you are looking for some guidance, counseling may be right for you.
Group programs help people build relationships with other individuals with similar interests as well as connect people who may be experiencing similar issues. Inquire at your college to see what groups and workshops are available!
