焦慮症正困擾着美國大學生

Anxious, the college disease

焦慮症，大學的疾病

Anxiety has now surpassed depression as the most common mental health diagnosis among US college students, though depression, too, is on the rise.

儘管抑鬱症的發病率也在上升，但焦慮症現已超過抑鬱症成爲美國大學生最常見的精神健康疾病。

More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State.

賓州州立大學大學生心理健康中心近期針對全美超過10萬名大學生的研究發現，超過一半的大學生都因爲焦慮影響健康而去校內診所治療。

Nearly one in six college students has been diagnosed with or treated for anxiety within the last 12 months.

在過去的12個月中，有近六分之一的大學生被診斷患有焦慮症或正因焦慮症而接受治療。

The causes range widely, experts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to compulsive engagement with social media.

專家稱，引發焦慮症的原因有很多，包括早年積累的學業壓力、家長過分溺愛以及過度依賴社交網絡等。

Anxiety has become emblematic of the current generation of college students.

焦慮已經成爲當代大學生的一種標誌。
