Notable Quotes

"This is still an urgent problem, and there's a lot of inequalities that persist." — Sarah Lipson, commenting on the 2025 findings

"[Universities adopted] a public health approach to mental health rather than solely one-on-one counseling. This population-level strategy emerged during the pandemic and expanded afterward."

College mental health reverses course

New Capabilities

Principal Investigator, Healthy Minds Network

College student depression rates climbed almost every year from 2007 to 2022—a 15-year deterioration that made "campus mental health crisis" a fixture of education headlines. That trend has now reversed. The 2024-2025 Healthy Minds Study, surveying 84,000 students across 135 universities, finds severe depression down to 18% from a 2022 peak of 23%, anxiety down to 32% from 37%, and suicidal ideation down to 11% from 15%.
