2020 data shows that in the past 12 years, the incidence of depression in China has exploded from 0.05% to 6%. Among them, the incidence of depression among college students has increased year by year. The World Health Organization has proposed that 1/4 of Chinese college students admit to experiencing symptoms of depression, and the mental health issues of college students cannot be ignored.
In recent years, tragedies caused by mental health problems among college students have continued to occur, which is shocking.
Since ancient times, "being named on the gold medal list" has been a great joy in life. Why do these young people who have successfully entered college after ten years of hardship become a group with a high risk of depression? What exactly is the problem?
In the "Medium and Long-term Youth Development Plan (2016-2025)", in order to prevent youth mental health problems in schools, it was proposed:
Strengthen source prevention, focus on research and analysis of the causes of youth mental health problems, and timely identify high-risk groups for youth mental health problems. , take effective measures to solve or alleviate the pressure on young people in academic, career, life and emotional aspects.
Not long ago, this newspaper published a self-reported article by a college teacher, which detailed his analysis of the causes of psychological problems among his graduate students. The
case shows that the psychological problems of college students are often closely related to their growth experiences. This provides a reliable practical reference for colleges and universities to prevent youth psychological problems and identify the "source". The following is the full text of the article:
Why do they encounter psychological problems after being admitted to graduate school?

In less than half a year, I have received a call from the school doctor for the third time. The first time I felt very surprised, and the second time I received a call from the school doctor. The first and third time I just felt worried.
My graduate student got sick. He stayed in a specialized hospital for 40 days. He took western medicine every day. He also went to the school’s psychological consultation room and was comforted by his senior brothers and sisters from time to time. The graduate student also has the internal motivation to overcome the mental illness, but his condition is still not good. Signs of improvement, what exactly is the problem?
has been a teacher for nearly 30 years and a class teacher for 24 years. I have encountered all kinds of students with psychological problems. I know that the root of psychological problems often lies in childhood, in the family of origin, and this is the same for this graduate student.
When he was a child, his parents went out to work, and his grandfather and grandmother took care of him. Grandpa is an alcoholic, has a very short temper, and is rough. It is common for him to hit and kick his grandson.
later moved to Shanghai with his parents, where he was bullied by the landlord's children and ridiculed by local children. The parents had no empathy for their son's situation and instead blamed him for not handling the relationship with his peers well.
My father likes to gamble, but my mother cannot stop him. She can only complain constantly. There is no warmth in my family life.
The mother projected her disappointment with her husband onto her son, fearing that her son would be ineffective and follow his father's path in the future, so she was too harsh on her son and "told him" day and night and regardless of the occasion, but she didn't know that what she was venting was just bad emotions. .
Mothers are completely unaware of their own emotional problems, and they don’t know that they have caused a huge psychological burden on their children. They even think that they are contemporary Meng’s mother . Isn’t it sad!
The child's bad emotions accumulate day by day, and there is no outlet for them. The only way to relieve the mother's anxiety is through reading and studying. So he not only got admitted to the undergraduate program despite his illness, but also got admitted to the postgraduate program. He became "someone else's child" and became the pride of his mother.
After entering graduate school, his tense mental strings relaxed and he found that he could not fit into the circle of peers and could not adapt to the fast pace of graduate school. The life of reading, thinking and writing every day made him exhausted, and his mental pressure increased day by day.
In addition, living in isolation for a long time leads to a withdrawn personality, no hobbies, no friends, no one to talk to, and no way to vent. Of course, the disease is inevitable.
I once talked with graduate tutors from other schools about students’ psychological problems. They also reported that among first-year graduate students, a relatively high proportion of students have psychological problems, and in some majors even more than a quarter.
The incidence of mental illness is increasing year by year. Some people harm themselves and commit suicide, which frightens the instructors day and night.Some tutors privately suggest that psychological evaluations be conducted during postgraduate interviews, but this involves legal and admissions fairness issues and should not be done rashly.
Students who are in a state of anxiety should also pay more attention to psychological issues.
For example, read some psychological works, take some psychological counseling courses, and consult a psychologist. Use the long summer vacation to cultivate healthy interests and hobbies, and then use these hobbies as a bridge to make some like-minded friends and do more activities and parties. If conditions permit, go out and take a walk in nature to cultivate your sentiments and nourish your body and mind.
It would be great if parents could realize their own problems and work hard to create a harmonious and comfortable family atmosphere.
