Students are not seeking Mental Health help


Students are not seeking Mental Health help 

A student at a prestigious university posted this on Facebook before committing suicide: “I needed time to work things out and to wait for new medication to kick in, but I couldn’t do it in school, and I couldn’t bear the thought of having to leave for a full year, or of leaving and never being readmitted”. A number of students are not seeking Mental Health help and students receiving Mental Health treatment are lying to their therapists because of a possible threat that they will be withdrawn from the school or hospitalized for their conditions. “The student had already withdrawn from and been readmitted to Yale once; the school’s policies state that a second readmission will only be considered "under unusual circumstances”.
