No one, including yourself, understands the way you feel and why you feel that way. Similarly, people with mental illness can feel trapped and alone.

"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 a~Jbe& 1Mb34f Ui Editors-: Caitlin Nish,' MAGAZEN E Writers: Lyle Henretty, oseph Litman, Megan Murray, WearPais, Rebecca Ramsey and Lauren Smith Photo Editor: David Katz Photogra hers: Emma Fosdick, Brendan ('Donnell and Rebecca Sahn Cover Photo: David Katz Arts Editors: Luke Smith, Manaqinq Editor, Jeff Dickerson, Associate tor Editor in Chief: Jon Schwartz 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." Avoidance is also a potential result of Panic l ke D is or der. l/ way I looker Characterized was scared by attacks of ton got to the poi intense anxiety tiop that often occur want to leave my ro in public set- tings, Panic Disorder can cause people to stay away from places like classrooms and restau- rants. 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."
