College can be stressful with a change of home, new people, demanding tasks, fear of failure & other factors that can lead to mental health issues in students.
Every phase of our lives comes with certain burdens and difficulties. We face challenges wherever we go, and we fall down more than we want to. The same goes for being a college student. However rewarding and fulfilling the entire college experience may be, there are still struggles many students need to endure.
