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

College Student’s Depression

2

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is a common and severe

health issue that affects how someone feels, thinks and acts. The most common symptoms of

depression are; having bad moods and feeling very sad, losing interest in the activities that were

once fun, loss of appetite, which in turn will lead to massive weight loss or gain that is not related

to dieting and difficulty in concentrating, thinking or making decisions (LeMoult & Gotlib, 2019).

People become depressed due to various factors; some of the significant social factors that

bring about depression include; encountering traumatic events, separation from parents or

caregivers and being bullied. Personality some people are inclined towards experiencing

depression. For instance, people who tend to hold worries, have a low-self-esteem, are

perfectionists and are very sensitive towards negative criticism naturally have a higher likelihood

of facing depression.

Depression throughout history has always been a health problem for people. According to

articles written by philosophers and writers throughout humanity’s history, there is depression,

which is a health condition. The articles also include some of the continuous struggles that have

been made to find a solution on treating this condition. For instance, the ancient Greeks and

Romans had different thinking on depression. Some of the literature shows that the Greeks had a

notion that depression was a form of evil spirit possession and used exorcism techniques like;

beatings and starvation as “treatments” to cure a person. On the other hand, the Romans thought

depression was a combination of biological and psychological issues and employed gymnastics,

special diet, herbal medicine and music to treat the patients (Taquet et al., 2020).

In our present day, some of the startling statistics concerning depression are; depression

affects approximately one in fifteen adults, that is close to 6.8% annually, and a projection of an

estimated one in six persons will encounter depression at a given point in their life, that is around

Christian Aguiar
All of these statistics come from research, so you need to cite them using an in-text citation like we learned in class. Luckily, we’re reviewing them again today (3/17).

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
This is another place where you need to cite your source. Which literature tells us this?

Christian Aguiar
I like the historical context, Jasmin. This could be a great way to begin the script for your video, too.

Christian Aguiar
Since this is an argument based on research – it draws on what scientists know about depression – you need to make it clear what the source is.

Christian Aguiar
Do you mean “personally, some people are inclined…” or perhaps that “some people’s personalities are inclined”?

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
Remember, the colon (:) introduces a list like this; the semicolon (;) connects two complete thoughts.

Christian Aguiar
Great context, Jasmin. For your reader to understand your topic, they will need to first understand what depression is. This is a strong opening move.

16.7%. Studies show that females are more likely to experience depression compared to the men.

Clinicians have also found that depression is more likely to occur during the late teens to mid-20s.

This age group indicates that college students are the ones who are likely to suffer most from the

effect of depression.

Depression in college students has affected their social life adversely by lowering their

mood, feelings and self-esteem. It has also affected their school life by; making it challenging to

handle their schoolwork and losing interest in activities like sports. It has led to emotional

outbursts such as anger, faulty self-assessments, and lack of energy. Some of the statistics that

show the extent of this problem are; the overall rate of college students that have been reported to

have depression is about 45% (Moeller & Seehuus,

2019).

Suicide has become the third leading cause of death among college students; 76% of those

reported depression. Their first encounter was their mid-20, and nearly two-thirds of students who

developed substance abuse issues reported experiencing depression. These statistics indicate that

this is a significant health crisis among college students.

Another significant factor that makes this a significant issue is that close to 75% of the

students experiencing depression are reluctant to seek help and medication. This brings about an

additional risk of harmful outcomes like; dropping out of college, performing poorly academically,

the risk of substance abuse and a high chance of committing suicide in the event of a full

depression (Ramón-Arbués et al., 2020).

Depression among college students is a serious mental issue that affects in a big way how

the student thinks and behaves and can lead to significant emotional, functional and physical

issues. So it is crucial to understand the causes and effects of this issue among the students and

how it can be treated and even prevented.

Christian Aguiar
Same here, Jasmin. What does this evidence suggest about what might be lacking in colleges, or what college students need?

Christian Aguiar
Before continuing with more evidence, Jasmin, you should explain the significance of this evidence. Do college students need more help? More support?

Christian Aguiar
Can you find a study on how depression impacts schoolwork or activities?

Christian Aguiar
Can you find a scholarly study that explores WHY students might be reluctant to seek help? Are all students equally reluctant? Are there factors that influence them?

Christian Aguiar
I’ve underlined two sections that are both, in a sense, working thesis statements. I think this second one would work better, as it provides an argument you can develop step by step.

Is this perhaps a continuation of the “some of the statistics” line above? If so, it needs to be in the same paragraph, Jasmin, otherwise your reader will get confused as I have here.

Some of the research approaches that can be employed to be able to identify depression in

college students include; getting help from the parents, this is by developing an approach of getting

to know from different parents on the well-being of the child, to be able to assess some of the most

common symptoms that could show depression. This is an essential aspect as it will be easier also

to train the parent on how to handle and provide support if the child is undergoing depression,

through; preparing the child for the unexpected, the importance of staying close, encouraging

healthy habits and developing a plan that is focused on student mental health (Park & Zarate Jr,

2019).

Another research method is designing a purpose design questionnaire that includes records

of sociodemographic data, such as; age, sex, year of study and performance in studies. The

questionnaire will consist of questions that will help measure the rate of depression among the

students. A number of colleges will be picked and select representatives to participate and increase

statistical power. To increase the accuracy of the research, it is essential to ensure that there is a

proportional stratified sampling of the colleges so that all the different age groups are represented.

Also, in the sampling process, the number of representatives to be obtained from each college will

be determined by calculations and proportional to size probability.

16.7%. Studies show that females are more likely to experience depression compared to the men.

Clinicians have also found that depression is more likely to occur during the late teens to mid-20s.

This age group indicates that college students are the ones who are likely to suffer most from the

effect of depression.

Depression in college students has affected their social life adversely by lowering their

mood, feelings and self-esteem. It has also affected their school life by; making it challenging to

handle their schoolwork and losing interest in activities like sports. It has led to emotional

outbursts such as anger, faulty self-assessments, and lack of energy. Some of the statistics that

show the extent of this problem are; the overall rate of college students that have been reported to

have depression is about 45% (Moeller & Seehuus,

2019).

Suicide has become the third leading cause of death among college students; 76% of those

reported depression. Their first encounter was their mid-20, and nearly two-thirds of students who

developed substance abuse issues reported experiencing depression. These statistics indicate that

this is a significant health crisis among college students.

Another significant factor that makes this a significant issue is that close to 75% of the

students experiencing depression are reluctant to seek help and medication. This brings about an

additional risk of harmful outcomes like; dropping out of college, performing poorly academically,

the risk of substance abuse and a high chance of committing suicide in the event of a full

depression (Ramón-Arbués et al., 2020).

Depression among college students is a serious mental issue that affects in a big way how

the student thinks and behaves and can lead to significant emotional, functional and physical

issues. So it is crucial to understand the causes and effects of this issue among the students and

how it can be treated and even prevented.

Some of the research approaches that can be employed to be able to identify depression in

college students include; getting help from the parents, this is by developing an approach of getting

to know from different parents on the well-being of the child, to be able to assess some of the most

common symptoms that could show depression. This is an essential aspect as it will be easier also

to train the parent on how to handle and provide support if the child is undergoing depression,

through; preparing the child for the unexpected, the importance of staying close, encouraging

healthy habits and developing a plan that is focused on student mental health (Park & Zarate Jr,

2019).

Another research method is designing a purpose design questionnaire that includes records

of sociodemographic data, such as; age, sex, year of study and performance in studies. The

questionnaire will consist of questions that will help measure the rate of depression among the

students. A number of colleges will be picked and select representatives to participate and increase

statistical power. To increase the accuracy of the research, it is essential to ensure that there is a

proportional stratified sampling of the colleges so that all the different age groups are represented.

Also, in the sampling process, the number of representatives to be obtained from each college will

be determined by calculations and proportional to size probability.

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

This memo is to call upon every staff to help our students overcome depression and

Through this, they will feel comfortable and will be able to speak out about the problems they face.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is a common and severe

health issue that affects how someone feels, thinks and acts. The most common symptoms of

depression are; having bad moods and feeling very sad, losing interest in the activities that were

once fun, loss of appetite, which in turn will lead to massive weight loss or gain that is not related

to dieting and difficulty in concentrating, thinking or making decisions (LeMoult & Gotlib, 2019).

People become depressed due to various factors; some of the significant social factors that

bring about depression include; encountering traumatic events, separation from parents or

caregivers and being bullied. Personality some people are inclined towards experiencing

depression. For instance, people who tend to hold worries, have a low-self-esteem, are

perfectionists and are very sensitive towards negative criticism naturally have a higher likelihood

of facing depression.

Depression throughout history has always been a health problem for people. According to

articles written by philosophers and writers throughout humanity’s history, there is depression,

which is a health condition. The articles also include some of the continuous struggles that have

been made to find a solution on treating this condition. For instance, the ancient Greeks and

Romans had different thinking on depression. Some of the literature shows that the Greeks had a

notion that depression was a form of evil spirit possession and used exorcism techniques like;

beatings and starvation as “treatments” to cure a person. On the other hand, the Romans thought

depression was a combination of biological and psychological issues and employed gymnastics,

special diet, herbal medicine and music to treat the patients (Taquet et al., 2020).

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

College Student’s Depression

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is a common and severe

health issue that affects how someone feels, thinks and acts. The most common symptoms of

depression are; having bad moods and feeling very sad, losing interest in the activities that were

once fun, loss of appetite, which in turn will lead to massive weight loss or gain that is not related

to dieting and difficulty in concentrating, thinking or making decisions (LeMoult & Gotlib, 2019).

People become depressed due to various factors; some of the significant social factors that

bring about depression include; encountering traumatic events, separation from parents or

caregivers and being bullied. Personality some people are inclined towards experiencing

depression. For instance, people who tend to hold worries, have a low-self-esteem, are

perfectionists and are very sensitive towards negative criticism naturally have a higher likelihood

of facing depression.

Depression throughout history has always been a health problem for people. According to

articles written by philosophers and writers throughout humanity’s history, there is depression,

which is a health condition. The articles also include some of the continuous struggles that have

been made to find a solution on treating this condition. For instance, the ancient Greeks and

Romans had different thinking on depression. Some of the literature shows that the Greeks had a

notion that depression was a form of evil spirit possession and used exorcism techniques like;

beatings and starvation as “treatments” to cure a person. On the other hand, the Romans thought

depression was a combination of biological and psychological issues and employed gymnastics,

special diet, herbal medicine and music to treat the patients (Taquet et al., 2020).

In our present day, some of the startling statistics concerning depression are; depression

affects approximately one in fifteen adults, that is close to 6.8% annually, and a projection of an

estimated one in six persons will encounter depression at a given point in their life, that is around

Christian Aguiar
All of these statistics come from research, so you need to cite them using an in-text citation like we learned in class. Luckily, we’re reviewing them again today (3/17).

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
This is another place where you need to cite your source. Which literature tells us this?

Christian Aguiar
I like the historical context, Jasmin. This could be a great way to begin the script for your video, too.

Christian Aguiar
Since this is an argument based on research – it draws on what scientists know about depression – you need to make it clear what the source is.

Christian Aguiar
Do you mean “personally, some people are inclined…” or perhaps that “some people’s personalities are inclined”?

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
Remember, the colon (:) introduces a list like this; the semicolon (;) connects two complete thoughts.

Christian Aguiar
Great context, Jasmin. For your reader to understand your topic, they will need to first understand what depression is. This is a strong opening move.

16.7%. Studies show that females are more likely to experience depression compared to the men.

Clinicians have also found that depression is more likely to occur during the late teens to mid-20s.

This age group indicates that college students are the ones who are likely to suffer most from the

effect of depression.

Depression in college students has affected their social life adversely by lowering their

mood, feelings and self-esteem. It has also affected their school life by; making it challenging to

handle their schoolwork and losing interest in activities like sports. It has led to emotional

outbursts such as anger, faulty self-assessments, and lack of energy. Some of the statistics that

show the extent of this problem are; the overall rate of college students that have been reported to

have depression is about 45% (Moeller & Seehuus,

2019).

Suicide has become the third leading cause of death among college students; 76% of those

reported depression. Their first encounter was their mid-20, and nearly two-thirds of students who

developed substance abuse issues reported experiencing depression. These statistics indicate that

this is a significant health crisis among college students.

Another significant factor that makes this a significant issue is that close to 75% of the

students experiencing depression are reluctant to seek help and medication. This brings about an

additional risk of harmful outcomes like; dropping out of college, performing poorly academically,

the risk of substance abuse and a high chance of committing suicide in the event of a full

depression (Ramón-Arbués et al., 2020).

Depression among college students is a serious mental issue that affects in a big way how

the student thinks and behaves and can lead to significant emotional, functional and physical

issues. So it is crucial to understand the causes and effects of this issue among the students and

how it can be treated and even prevented.

Christian Aguiar
Same here, Jasmin. What does this evidence suggest about what might be lacking in colleges, or what college students need?

Christian Aguiar
Before continuing with more evidence, Jasmin, you should explain the significance of this evidence. Do college students need more help? More support?

Christian Aguiar
Can you find a study on how depression impacts schoolwork or activities?

Christian Aguiar
Can you find a scholarly study that explores WHY students might be reluctant to seek help? Are all students equally reluctant? Are there factors that influence them?

Christian Aguiar
I’ve underlined two sections that are both, in a sense, working thesis statements. I think this second one would work better, as it provides an argument you can develop step by step.

Is this perhaps a continuation of the “some of the statistics” line above? If so, it needs to be in the same paragraph, Jasmin, otherwise your reader will get confused as I have here.

Some of the research approaches that can be employed to be able to identify depression in

college students include; getting help from the parents, this is by developing an approach of getting

to know from different parents on the well-being of the child, to be able to assess some of the most

common symptoms that could show depression. This is an essential aspect as it will be easier also

to train the parent on how to handle and provide support if the child is undergoing depression,

through; preparing the child for the unexpected, the importance of staying close, encouraging

healthy habits and developing a plan that is focused on student mental health (Park & Zarate Jr,

2019).

Another research method is designing a purpose design questionnaire that includes records

of sociodemographic data, such as; age, sex, year of study and performance in studies. The

questionnaire will consist of questions that will help measure the rate of depression among the

students. A number of colleges will be picked and select representatives to participate and increase

statistical power. To increase the accuracy of the research, it is essential to ensure that there is a

proportional stratified sampling of the colleges so that all the different age groups are represented.

Also, in the sampling process, the number of representatives to be obtained from each college will

be determined by calculations and proportional to size probability.

16.7%. Studies show that females are more likely to experience depression compared to the men.

Clinicians have also found that depression is more likely to occur during the late teens to mid-20s.

This age group indicates that college students are the ones who are likely to suffer most from the

effect of depression.

Depression in college students has affected their social life adversely by lowering their

mood, feelings and self-esteem. It has also affected their school life by; making it challenging to

handle their schoolwork and losing interest in activities like sports. It has led to emotional

outbursts such as anger, faulty self-assessments, and lack of energy. Some of the statistics that

show the extent of this problem are; the overall rate of college students that have been reported to

have depression is about 45% (Moeller & Seehuus,

2019).

Suicide has become the third leading cause of death among college students; 76% of those

reported depression. Their first encounter was their mid-20, and nearly two-thirds of students who

developed substance abuse issues reported experiencing depression. These statistics indicate that

this is a significant health crisis among college students.

Another significant factor that makes this a significant issue is that close to 75% of the

students experiencing depression are reluctant to seek help and medication. This brings about an

additional risk of harmful outcomes like; dropping out of college, performing poorly academically,

the risk of substance abuse and a high chance of committing suicide in the event of a full

depression (Ramón-Arbués et al., 2020).

Depression among college students is a serious mental issue that affects in a big way how

the student thinks and behaves and can lead to significant emotional, functional and physical

issues. So it is crucial to understand the causes and effects of this issue among the students and

how it can be treated and even prevented.

Before continuing with more evidence, Jasmin, you should explain the significance of this evidence. Do college students need more help? More support?

Some of the research approaches that can be employed to be able to identify depression in

college students include; getting help from the parents, this is by developing an approach of getting

to know from different parents on the well-being of the child, to be able to assess some of the most

common symptoms that could show depression. This is an essential aspect as it will be easier also

to train the parent on how to handle and provide support if the child is undergoing depression,

through; preparing the child for the unexpected, the importance of staying close, encouraging

healthy habits and developing a plan that is focused on student mental health (Park & Zarate Jr,

2019).

Another research method is designing a purpose design questionnaire that includes records

of sociodemographic data, such as; age, sex, year of study and performance in studies. The

questionnaire will consist of questions that will help measure the rate of depression among the

students. A number of colleges will be picked and select representatives to participate and increase

statistical power. To increase the accuracy of the research, it is essential to ensure that there is a

proportional stratified sampling of the colleges so that all the different age groups are represented.

Also, in the sampling process, the number of representatives to be obtained from each college will

be determined by calculations and proportional to size probability.

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

This memo is to call upon every staff to help our students overcome depression and

Through this, they will feel comfortable and will be able to speak out about the problems they face.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is a common and severe

health issue that affects how someone feels, thinks and acts. The most common symptoms of

depression are; having bad moods and feeling very sad, losing interest in the activities that were

once fun, loss of appetite, which in turn will lead to massive weight loss or gain that is not related

to dieting and difficulty in concentrating, thinking or making decisions (LeMoult & Gotlib, 2019).

People become depressed due to various factors; some of the significant social factors that

bring about depression include; encountering traumatic events, separation from parents or

caregivers and being bullied. Personality some people are inclined towards experiencing

depression. For instance, people who tend to hold worries, have a low-self-esteem, are

perfectionists and are very sensitive towards negative criticism naturally have a higher likelihood

of facing depression.

Depression throughout history has always been a health problem for people. According to

articles written by philosophers and writers throughout humanity’s history, there is depression,

which is a health condition. The articles also include some of the continuous struggles that have

been made to find a solution on treating this condition. For instance, the ancient Greeks and

Romans had different thinking on depression. Some of the literature shows that the Greeks had a

notion that depression was a form of evil spirit possession and used exorcism techniques like;

beatings and starvation as “treatments” to cure a person. On the other hand, the Romans thought

depression was a combination of biological and psychological issues and employed gymnastics,

special diet, herbal medicine and music to treat the patients (Taquet et al., 2020).

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

College Student’s Depression

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is a common and severe

health issue that affects how someone feels, thinks and acts. The most common symptoms of

depression are; having bad moods and feeling very sad, losing interest in the activities that were

once fun, loss of appetite, which in turn will lead to massive weight loss or gain that is not related

to dieting and difficulty in concentrating, thinking or making decisions (LeMoult & Gotlib, 2019).

People become depressed due to various factors; some of the significant social factors that

bring about depression include; encountering traumatic events, separation from parents or

caregivers and being bullied. Personality some people are inclined towards experiencing

depression. For instance, people who tend to hold worries, have a low-self-esteem, are

perfectionists and are very sensitive towards negative criticism naturally have a higher likelihood

of facing depression.

Depression throughout history has always been a health problem for people. According to

articles written by philosophers and writers throughout humanity’s history, there is depression,

which is a health condition. The articles also include some of the continuous struggles that have

been made to find a solution on treating this condition. For instance, the ancient Greeks and

Romans had different thinking on depression. Some of the literature shows that the Greeks had a

notion that depression was a form of evil spirit possession and used exorcism techniques like;

beatings and starvation as “treatments” to cure a person. On the other hand, the Romans thought

depression was a combination of biological and psychological issues and employed gymnastics,

special diet, herbal medicine and music to treat the patients (Taquet et al., 2020).

In our present day, some of the startling statistics concerning depression are; depression

affects approximately one in fifteen adults, that is close to 6.8% annually, and a projection of an

estimated one in six persons will encounter depression at a given point in their life, that is around

Christian Aguiar
All of these statistics come from research, so you need to cite them using an in-text citation like we learned in class. Luckily, we’re reviewing them again today (3/17).

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
This is another place where you need to cite your source. Which literature tells us this?

Christian Aguiar
I like the historical context, Jasmin. This could be a great way to begin the script for your video, too.

Christian Aguiar
Since this is an argument based on research – it draws on what scientists know about depression – you need to make it clear what the source is.

Christian Aguiar
Do you mean “personally, some people are inclined…” or perhaps that “some people’s personalities are inclined”?

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
Remember, the colon (:) introduces a list like this; the semicolon (;) connects two complete thoughts.

Christian Aguiar
Great context, Jasmin. For your reader to understand your topic, they will need to first understand what depression is. This is a strong opening move.

16.7%. Studies show that females are more likely to experience depression compared to the men.

Clinicians have also found that depression is more likely to occur during the late teens to mid-20s.

This age group indicates that college students are the ones who are likely to suffer most from the

effect of depression.

Depression in college students has affected their social life adversely by lowering their

mood, feelings and self-esteem. It has also affected their school life by; making it challenging to

handle their schoolwork and losing interest in activities like sports. It has led to emotional

outbursts such as anger, faulty self-assessments, and lack of energy. Some of the statistics that

show the extent of this problem are; the overall rate of college students that have been reported to

have depression is about 45% (Moeller & Seehuus,

2019).

Suicide has become the third leading cause of death among college students; 76% of those

reported depression. Their first encounter was their mid-20, and nearly two-thirds of students who

developed substance abuse issues reported experiencing depression. These statistics indicate that

this is a significant health crisis among college students.

Another significant factor that makes this a significant issue is that close to 75% of the

students experiencing depression are reluctant to seek help and medication. This brings about an

additional risk of harmful outcomes like; dropping out of college, performing poorly academically,

the risk of substance abuse and a high chance of committing suicide in the event of a full

depression (Ramón-Arbués et al., 2020).

Depression among college students is a serious mental issue that affects in a big way how

the student thinks and behaves and can lead to significant emotional, functional and physical

issues. So it is crucial to understand the causes and effects of this issue among the students and

how it can be treated and even prevented.

Christian Aguiar
Same here, Jasmin. What does this evidence suggest about what might be lacking in colleges, or what college students need?

Christian Aguiar
Before continuing with more evidence, Jasmin, you should explain the significance of this evidence. Do college students need more help? More support?

Christian Aguiar
Can you find a study on how depression impacts schoolwork or activities?

Christian Aguiar
Can you find a scholarly study that explores WHY students might be reluctant to seek help? Are all students equally reluctant? Are there factors that influence them?

Christian Aguiar
I’ve underlined two sections that are both, in a sense, working thesis statements. I think this second one would work better, as it provides an argument you can develop step by step.

Is this perhaps a continuation of the “some of the statistics” line above? If so, it needs to be in the same paragraph, Jasmin, otherwise your reader will get confused as I have here.

Some of the research approaches that can be employed to be able to identify depression in

college students include; getting help from the parents, this is by developing an approach of getting

to know from different parents on the well-being of the child, to be able to assess some of the most

common symptoms that could show depression. This is an essential aspect as it will be easier also

to train the parent on how to handle and provide support if the child is undergoing depression,

through; preparing the child for the unexpected, the importance of staying close, encouraging

healthy habits and developing a plan that is focused on student mental health (Park & Zarate Jr,

2019).

Another research method is designing a purpose design questionnaire that includes records

of sociodemographic data, such as; age, sex, year of study and performance in studies. The

questionnaire will consist of questions that will help measure the rate of depression among the

students. A number of colleges will be picked and select representatives to participate and increase

statistical power. To increase the accuracy of the research, it is essential to ensure that there is a

proportional stratified sampling of the colleges so that all the different age groups are represented.

Also, in the sampling process, the number of representatives to be obtained from each college will

be determined by calculations and proportional to size probability.

16.7%. Studies show that females are more likely to experience depression compared to the men.

Clinicians have also found that depression is more likely to occur during the late teens to mid-20s.

This age group indicates that college students are the ones who are likely to suffer most from the

effect of depression.

Depression in college students has affected their social life adversely by lowering their

mood, feelings and self-esteem. It has also affected their school life by; making it challenging to

handle their schoolwork and losing interest in activities like sports. It has led to emotional

outbursts such as anger, faulty self-assessments, and lack of energy. Some of the statistics that

show the extent of this problem are; the overall rate of college students that have been reported to

have depression is about 45% (Moeller & Seehuus,

2019).

Suicide has become the third leading cause of death among college students; 76% of those

reported depression. Their first encounter was their mid-20, and nearly two-thirds of students who

developed substance abuse issues reported experiencing depression. These statistics indicate that

this is a significant health crisis among college students.

Another significant factor that makes this a significant issue is that close to 75% of the

students experiencing depression are reluctant to seek help and medication. This brings about an

additional risk of harmful outcomes like; dropping out of college, performing poorly academically,

the risk of substance abuse and a high chance of committing suicide in the event of a full

depression (Ramón-Arbués et al., 2020).

Depression among college students is a serious mental issue that affects in a big way how

the student thinks and behaves and can lead to significant emotional, functional and physical

issues. So it is crucial to understand the causes and effects of this issue among the students and

how it can be treated and even prevented.

Before continuing with more evidence, Jasmin, you should explain the significance of this evidence. Do college students need more help? More support?

Some of the research approaches that can be employed to be able to identify depression in

college students include; getting help from the parents, this is by developing an approach of getting

to know from different parents on the well-being of the child, to be able to assess some of the most

common symptoms that could show depression. This is an essential aspect as it will be easier also

to train the parent on how to handle and provide support if the child is undergoing depression,

through; preparing the child for the unexpected, the importance of staying close, encouraging

healthy habits and developing a plan that is focused on student mental health (Park & Zarate Jr,

2019).

Another research method is designing a purpose design questionnaire that includes records

of sociodemographic data, such as; age, sex, year of study and performance in studies. The

questionnaire will consist of questions that will help measure the rate of depression among the

students. A number of colleges will be picked and select representatives to participate and increase

statistical power. To increase the accuracy of the research, it is essential to ensure that there is a

proportional stratified sampling of the colleges so that all the different age groups are represented.

Also, in the sampling process, the number of representatives to be obtained from each college will

be determined by calculations and proportional to size probability.

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

This memo is to call upon every staff to help our students overcome depression and

Through this, they will feel comfortable and will be able to speak out about the problems they face.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is a common and severe

health issue that affects how someone feels, thinks and acts. The most common symptoms of

depression are; having bad moods and feeling very sad, losing interest in the activities that were

once fun, loss of appetite, which in turn will lead to massive weight loss or gain that is not related

to dieting and difficulty in concentrating, thinking or making decisions (LeMoult & Gotlib, 2019).

People become depressed due to various factors; some of the significant social factors that

bring about depression include; encountering traumatic events, separation from parents or

caregivers and being bullied. Personality some people are inclined towards experiencing

depression. For instance, people who tend to hold worries, have a low-self-esteem, are

perfectionists and are very sensitive towards negative criticism naturally have a higher likelihood

of facing depression.

Depression throughout history has always been a health problem for people. According to

articles written by philosophers and writers throughout humanity’s history, there is depression,

which is a health condition. The articles also include some of the continuous struggles that have

been made to find a solution on treating this condition. For instance, the ancient Greeks and

Romans had different thinking on depression. Some of the literature shows that the Greeks had a

notion that depression was a form of evil spirit possession and used exorcism techniques like;

beatings and starvation as “treatments” to cure a person. On the other hand, the Romans thought

depression was a combination of biological and psychological issues and employed gymnastics,

special diet, herbal medicine and music to treat the patients (Taquet et al., 2020).

In our present day, some of the startling statistics concerning depression are; depression

affects approximately one in fifteen adults, that is close to 6.8% annually, and a projection of an

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

College Student’s Depression

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is a common and severe

health issue that affects how someone feels, thinks and acts. The most common symptoms of

depression are; having bad moods and feeling very sad, losing interest in the activities that were

once fun, loss of appetite, which in turn will lead to massive weight loss or gain that is not related

to dieting and difficulty in concentrating, thinking or making decisions (LeMoult & Gotlib, 2019).

People become depressed due to various factors; some of the significant social factors that

bring about depression include; encountering traumatic events, separation from parents or

caregivers and being bullied. Personality some people are inclined towards experiencing

depression. For instance, people who tend to hold worries, have a low-self-esteem, are

perfectionists and are very sensitive towards negative criticism naturally have a higher likelihood

of facing depression.

Depression throughout history has always been a health problem for people. According to

articles written by philosophers and writers throughout humanity’s history, there is depression,

which is a health condition. The articles also include some of the continuous struggles that have

been made to find a solution on treating this condition. For instance, the ancient Greeks and

Romans had different thinking on depression. Some of the literature shows that the Greeks had a

notion that depression was a form of evil spirit possession and used exorcism techniques like;

beatings and starvation as “treatments” to cure a person. On the other hand, the Romans thought

depression was a combination of biological and psychological issues and employed gymnastics,

special diet, herbal medicine and music to treat the patients (Taquet et al., 2020).

In our present day, some of the startling statistics concerning depression are; depression

affects approximately one in fifteen adults, that is close to 6.8% annually, and a projection of an

estimated one in six persons will encounter depression at a given point in their life, that is around

Christian Aguiar
All of these statistics come from research, so you need to cite them using an in-text citation like we learned in class. Luckily, we’re reviewing them again today (3/17).

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
This is another place where you need to cite your source. Which literature tells us this?

Christian Aguiar
I like the historical context, Jasmin. This could be a great way to begin the script for your video, too.

Christian Aguiar
Since this is an argument based on research – it draws on what scientists know about depression – you need to make it clear what the source is.

Christian Aguiar
Do you mean “personally, some people are inclined…” or perhaps that “some people’s personalities are inclined”?

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
Remember, the colon (:) introduces a list like this; the semicolon (;) connects two complete thoughts.

Christian Aguiar
Great context, Jasmin. For your reader to understand your topic, they will need to first understand what depression is. This is a strong opening move.

16.7%. Studies show that females are more likely to experience depression compared to the men.

Clinicians have also found that depression is more likely to occur during the late teens to mid-20s.

This age group indicates that college students are the ones who are likely to suffer most from the

effect of depression.

Depression in college students has affected their social life adversely by lowering their

mood, feelings and self-esteem. It has also affected their school life by; making it challenging to

handle their schoolwork and losing interest in activities like sports. It has led to emotional

outbursts such as anger, faulty self-assessments, and lack of energy. Some of the statistics that

show the extent of this problem are; the overall rate of college students that have been reported to

have depression is about 45% (Moeller & Seehuus,

2019).

Suicide has become the third leading cause of death among college students; 76% of those

reported depression. Their first encounter was their mid-20, and nearly two-thirds of students who

developed substance abuse issues reported experiencing depression. These statistics indicate that

this is a significant health crisis among college students.

Another significant factor that makes this a significant issue is that close to 75% of the

students experiencing depression are reluctant to seek help and medication. This brings about an

additional risk of harmful outcomes like; dropping out of college, performing poorly academically,

the risk of substance abuse and a high chance of committing suicide in the event of a full

depression (Ramón-Arbués et al., 2020).

Depression among college students is a serious mental issue that affects in a big way how

the student thinks and behaves and can lead to significant emotional, functional and physical

issues. So it is crucial to understand the causes and effects of this issue among the students and

how it can be treated and even prevented.

Christian Aguiar
Same here, Jasmin. What does this evidence suggest about what might be lacking in colleges, or what college students need?

Christian Aguiar
Before continuing with more evidence, Jasmin, you should explain the significance of this evidence. Do college students need more help? More support?

Christian Aguiar
Can you find a study on how depression impacts schoolwork or activities?

Christian Aguiar
Can you find a scholarly study that explores WHY students might be reluctant to seek help? Are all students equally reluctant? Are there factors that influence them?

Christian Aguiar
I’ve underlined two sections that are both, in a sense, working thesis statements. I think this second one would work better, as it provides an argument you can develop step by step.

Is this perhaps a continuation of the “some of the statistics” line above? If so, it needs to be in the same paragraph, Jasmin, otherwise your reader will get confused as I have here.

Some of the research approaches that can be employed to be able to identify depression in

college students include; getting help from the parents, this is by developing an approach of getting

to know from different parents on the well-being of the child, to be able to assess some of the most

common symptoms that could show depression. This is an essential aspect as it will be easier also

to train the parent on how to handle and provide support if the child is undergoing depression,

through; preparing the child for the unexpected, the importance of staying close, encouraging

healthy habits and developing a plan that is focused on student mental health (Park & Zarate Jr,

2019).

Another research method is designing a purpose design questionnaire that includes records

of sociodemographic data, such as; age, sex, year of study and performance in studies. The

questionnaire will consist of questions that will help measure the rate of depression among the

students. A number of colleges will be picked and select representatives to participate and increase

statistical power. To increase the accuracy of the research, it is essential to ensure that there is a

proportional stratified sampling of the colleges so that all the different age groups are represented.

Also, in the sampling process, the number of representatives to be obtained from each college will

be determined by calculations and proportional to size probability.

estimated one in six persons will encounter depression at a given point in their life, that is around

Christian Aguiar
All of these statistics come from research, so you need to cite them using an in-text citation like we learned in class. Luckily, we’re reviewing them again today (3/17).

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
This is another place where you need to cite your source. Which literature tells us this?

Christian Aguiar
I like the historical context, Jasmin. This could be a great way to begin the script for your video, too.

Christian Aguiar
Since this is an argument based on research – it draws on what scientists know about depression – you need to make it clear what the source is.

Christian Aguiar
Do you mean “personally, some people are inclined…” or perhaps that “some people’s personalities are inclined”?

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
Remember, the colon (:) introduces a list like this; the semicolon (;) connects two complete thoughts.

Great context, Jasmin. For your reader to understand your topic, they will need to first understand what depression is. This is a strong opening move.

16.7%. Studies show that females are more likely to experience depression compared to the men.

Clinicians have also found that depression is more likely to occur during the late teens to mid-20s.

This age group indicates that college students are the ones who are likely to suffer most from the

effect of depression.

Depression in college students has affected their social life adversely by lowering their

mood, feelings and self-esteem. It has also affected their school life by; making it challenging to

handle their schoolwork and losing interest in activities like sports. It has led to emotional

outbursts such as anger, faulty self-assessments, and lack of energy. Some of the statistics that

show the extent of this problem are; the overall rate of college students that have been reported to

have depression is about 45% (Moeller & Seehuus,

2019).

Suicide has become the third leading cause of death among college students; 76% of those

reported depression. Their first encounter was their mid-20, and nearly two-thirds of students who

developed substance abuse issues reported experiencing depression. These statistics indicate that

this is a significant health crisis among college students.

Another significant factor that makes this a significant issue is that close to 75% of the

students experiencing depression are reluctant to seek help and medication. This brings about an

additional risk of harmful outcomes like; dropping out of college, performing poorly academically,

the risk of substance abuse and a high chance of committing suicide in the event of a full

depression (Ramón-Arbués et al., 2020).

Depression among college students is a serious mental issue that affects in a big way how

the student thinks and behaves and can lead to significant emotional, functional and physical

issues. So it is crucial to understand the causes and effects of this issue among the students and

how it can be treated and even prevented.

Christian Aguiar
Same here, Jasmin. What does this evidence suggest about what might be lacking in colleges, or what college students need?

Christian Aguiar
Before continuing with more evidence, Jasmin, you should explain the significance of this evidence. Do college students need more help? More support?

Christian Aguiar
Can you find a study on how depression impacts schoolwork or activities?

Christian Aguiar
Can you find a scholarly study that explores WHY students might be reluctant to seek help? Are all students equally reluctant? Are there factors that influence them?

Christian Aguiar
I’ve underlined two sections that are both, in a sense, working thesis statements. I think this second one would work better, as it provides an argument you can develop step by step.

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
Is this perhaps a continuation of the “some of the statistics” line above? If so, it needs to be in the same paragraph, Jasmin, otherwise your reader will get confused as I have here.

Since there’s just one stat here, it would make more sense to present it directly.

Some of the research approaches that can be employed to be able to identify depression in

college students include; getting help from the parents, this is by developing an approach of getting

to know from different parents on the well-being of the child, to be able to assess some of the most

common symptoms that could show depression. This is an essential aspect as it will be easier also

to train the parent on how to handle and provide support if the child is undergoing depression,

through; preparing the child for the unexpected, the importance of staying close, encouraging

healthy habits and developing a plan that is focused on student mental health (Park & Zarate Jr,

2019).

Another research method is designing a purpose design questionnaire that includes records

of sociodemographic data, such as; age, sex, year of study and performance in studies. The

questionnaire will consist of questions that will help measure the rate of depression among the

students. A number of colleges will be picked and select representatives to participate and increase

statistical power. To increase the accuracy of the research, it is essential to ensure that there is a

proportional stratified sampling of the colleges so that all the different age groups are represented.

Also, in the sampling process, the number of representatives to be obtained from each college will

be determined by calculations and proportional to size probability.

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

Christian Aguiar
This paragraph repeats some of the earlier ideas; instead of repeating those ideas, this would be a good place to answer the third part of the prompt: What disciplinary lenses will you use?

Christian Aguiar
It can be a little confusing, but for a memo you would NOT indent the paragraphs – it’s business writing – but for your proposal you WILL.

Christian Aguiar
In your preliminary research for the proposal, these are the types of issues you will need to find research backing for.

Christian Aguiar
I’m a little confused, Jasmin – who is the management? Are you imagining that this is a memo you’re writing at work?

Christian Aguiar
You make a good case in this first paragraph for the importance of your topic.

Christian Aguiar
Wow, this is a shocking number. Be sure to include the source here, Jasmin, just like we discussed in class.

Christian Aguiar

Good use of the memo format, Jasmin

Christian Aguiar

Christian Aguiar
That’s okay, but the research itself would need to be real, so this information must come from an actual study that you cite.

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.

Christian Aguiar
I like the creativity here, Jasmin. For the memo assignment, though, you need to talk about your own plans for this class. Are you perhaps going to help your audience understand how to support students struggling with depression?

College Student’s Depression

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is a common and severe

health issue that affects how someone feels, thinks and acts. The most common symptoms of

depression are; having bad moods and feeling very sad, losing interest in the activities that were

once fun, loss of appetite, which in turn will lead to massive weight loss or gain that is not related

to dieting and difficulty in concentrating, thinking or making decisions (LeMoult & Gotlib, 2019).

People become depressed due to various factors; some of the significant social factors that

bring about depression include; encountering traumatic events, separation from parents or

caregivers and being bullied. Personality some people are inclined towards experiencing

depression. For instance, people who tend to hold worries, have a low-self-esteem, are

perfectionists and are very sensitive towards negative criticism naturally have a higher likelihood

of facing depression.

Depression throughout history has always been a health problem for people. According to

articles written by philosophers and writers throughout humanity’s history, there is depression,

which is a health condition. The articles also include some of the continuous struggles that have

been made to find a solution on treating this condition. For instance, the ancient Greeks and

Romans had different thinking on depression. Some of the literature shows that the Greeks had a

notion that depression was a form of evil spirit possession and used exorcism techniques like;

beatings and starvation as “treatments” to cure a person. On the other hand, the Romans thought

depression was a combination of biological and psychological issues and employed gymnastics,

special diet, herbal medicine and music to treat the patients (Taquet et al., 2020).

In our present day, some of the startling statistics concerning depression are; depression

affects approximately one in fifteen adults, that is close to 6.8% annually, and a projection of an

estimated one in six persons will encounter depression at a given point in their life, that is around
