Students anxiety
Almost 40% of college students suffer from severe levels of anxiety, while 30% experience severe depression.
A new report into the mental health of those going to college by the Union of Students in Ireland found one fifth feel they've no one to talk to about their personal difficulties.
It also found many students are having to rely on both on and off-campus services to support their mental health.
Vice-president for welfare at USI, Roisin O'Donovan, said she's saddened by the findings.
"It's a real shame that the education and healthcare system we have isn't supporting students as best they can."
