Depression affects more than 16.1 million American adults, ages 18 and older. It’s the second most common mental illness in college. Depression can make people feel lonely and affect day-to-day experiences. It can be difficult to treat and it’s important to get the in-depth consultations you need. Hannah, a student at Emory, talks more about her struggle with depression.
SOUND BITE OR ACTUALITY (0:10) Hannah, Emory Senior
I knew something was off when I was just overly tired and sleeping between all my classes. I felt a general lack of motivation when transitioned from freshmen year to sophomore year.
REPORTER VOICER (0:05)
Hannah then took action to see what was causing the change in her personality.
SOUND BITE OR ACTUALITY (0:21) Hannah, Emory Senior
So I looked to see what symptoms I had in order to confirm it was actually depression I was experiencing. Because depression runs in my family, I knew to seek immediate help. I looked on Emory’s healthcare website to see what services were offered and I scheduled my first consultation.
REPORTER VOICER (0:04):
There were some difficulties in the process.
SOUND BITE OR ACTUALITY (0:06) Hannah, Emory Senior
It was really hard to get in touch with anyone after my initial consultation. The availability was really low.
REPORTER VOICER (0:04):
Dr. Franzosi, a professor at Emory then talked about the common sources of depression he’s seen in his own students.
SOUND BITE OR ACTUALITY (0:06) Dr. Franzosi, Emory Professor
I think the pressure gets to them, in many cases. In some cases, stuff that happens at home. I’ve seen kids completely fall apart because they’ve fallen into drugs. So the funny thing is many of the kids who come from very privileged backgrounds, in the end, are not so happy. They have problems.
REPORTER VOICER (0:05):
Since Dr. Franzosi deals with depressed students he mentioned what he usually does to help.
SOUND BITE OR ACTUALITY (0:23) Dr. Franzosi, Emory Professor
Yeah, Emory does have a lot of resources – and if I catch them I do make the recommendation, typically what I do in fact I- I just send them to the dean. I have friends that are in the dean’s office – student deans – and I send it to them so that they have an immediate outlet.
REPORTER VOICER (0:09)
Overall, the need for psychologists at Emory is high and unfortunately with Dr. Franzosi and Hannah’s input it seems like there’s a lot more that Emory could do with the increasing rates of mental illness.
