magine that you are stuck in a bubble that cannot be popped, no

the way you feel and why you feel that way. Similarly, people with

someone who cannot relate to illness and when anxiety disorders and

depression are seen as taboo.
"People need to see depression and mental
illness as common and treatable," said Sarah
Newlin, education coordinator of the
University's Depression Center. Newlin, who
conducts free screenings, noted that "There is
a stigma attached to getting help for depres-
sion."
According to the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration, men-
tal health problems affect one in every five
young people at any given time. The age of
onset for anxiety disorders and depression
explains why so many colrege students are
affected.
"Anxiety disorders show up in late adoles-
cence and early adulthood. Reasons for this
are still unknown," said Joseph Himle, Ph.D.,
assistant clinical prof. and associate director
of the University Anxiety Disorders Program.
"College students of this age are exposed to
many new and stressful experiences, such as
leaving home for the first time, getting jobs

and securing new relationships," he added.
Similarly, depression usually develops
between the ages of 15 and 19, making col-
lege a peak time for episodes to occur.
The media is starting to pick up on the per-
vasiveness of mental illness by glamorizing
these disorders and the people who suffer
from them. Films such as "Girl Interrupted"
and "A Beautiful Mind" cast popular stars as
victims of mental illness and rumors that
Jennifer Lopez has depression now seem
almost like common knowledge. But, this glit-
tery attention does not allow audiences affect-
ed with mental disorders to actually relate to
the media depictions.
"I think its great that the media is display-
ing awareness, but mental illness is a very del-
icate topic," said Cara Sandelands,
Residential College senior and general man-
ager of Mentality, a mental illness awareness
organization at the University.
"Awareness is a key to understanding, but
they way in which mental illness is conveyed
is so important. We need to show how it real-
ly is," Sandelands added.
THE REALITY OF ANXIETY DISORDERS
Many doctors now agree that anxiety disor-
ders are as common as depression, if not more
so.
"Almost all college students experience
anxiety, and most recognize that they are anx-
ious. But when anxiety occurs often, many
students don't even think that they have a dis-
order," Himle said.
College students may develop one of a vari-
ety of anxiety disorders, such as Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder and specific phobias.
The most prevalent of these disorders is
Social Phobia.
"Nearly 13 percent of the general popula-
tion develop Social.Phobia at some point in
their life," said Himle.
Cara Sandelands, an RC senior, describes a panic attack as fe
A key trait of people with Social Phobia is
the intense fear that others will detect their
imperfections. To counter this, people avoid
situations in which they are exposed to scruti-
ny. Stepping into a large lecture hall may be a
frightful experience and those with Social
Phobia may suffer academically.
"Social Phobia includes the fear of making
speeches, giving presentations and participat-
ing in group projects and class discussions,"
explained Himle. "People may develop avoid-
ance and stop going to class altogether."

Sandelands suffered her first panic attack at
a party on her 18th birthday. After a few
months of recurring attacks, she was diag-
nosed with Panic Disorder, Generalized
Anxiety Disorder and severe depression.
"Mental illness transformed the way I
looked at everything. I was scared and my
condition got to the point where I didn't want
to leave my room," she said. "I was affected
by an extreme feeling that I was disconnected
from the world."
