In DS’s case, the student health center at UT-Austin did a good job of recognizing that he was seriously mentally ill (out of the blue). They gave us the name of an excellent psychiatrist who dealt with college-aged kids with psychosis. That was the end of their role.
Susquehanna has been really good for our D. She sees a doctor at home who prescribes meds, but then gets weekly counseling at school. There’s a center that she can visit whenever she needs to destress. She is currently not taking any meds (with her doctor’s permission, of course) and is doing well. The university did warn her and the other study abroad students not to expect counseling overseas this semester! She has planned and paid for quite an extensive trip at break (southern Spain, where she studied in high school, and then on to Beirut to see her brother). I can see her anxiety acting up - she’s getting stressed out at the thought of catching all those planes and trains. She is reconsidering the trip! I told her to video chat with her counselor here at home and we’ll see what that professional thinks…
