I would like to stress , that this is a general discussion, I do not believe that the phenomena is confined to Yale and it is certainly not confined to college students. I really do not think that academic pressure is the main culprit. I think that it is the way in which our world is going, pressure to achieve better and better, to have more and more. We are simply not happy just doing our best, be it bread making or car repair, brain surgery or carpet weaving. This leads to stress, mental illness . And we are ashamed to talk about mental illness. This is the single thing that needs to change. Why are we judged negatively for having anxiety and not for having arthritis ?
