"While student mental health is improving overall, some groups still struggle more and use treatment services less. These disparities have been persistent in the last decade and underscore that there's more work to be done to close the gap in mental health support."

College mental health reverses course

New Capabilities

Co-Principal Investigator, Healthy Minds Study

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%.
