A new study found that graduate students are sixtimes more likely to exhibit depression symptomsthan the general population. The findings shouldsurprise no one but it's important to havequantitative data about a mental health hazardrunning rampant in universities across the entireworld.

一項新研究發現，研究生出現抑鬱症狀的概率是普通人羣的六倍。雖然這不算出乎意料的發現，但抑鬱症在世界各地的大學肆虐，收集相關數據資料十分重要。

Such data "should prompt academia andpolicymakers to consider intervention strategies," the authors wrote in the journal Nature.

研究作者在《自然》雜誌上寫道，這些數據“應該促使學術界和政策制定者思考干預策略”。

Researchers led by Teresa Evans, a neuroscientist at the University of Texas Health ScienceCenter at San Antonio, surveyed 2,279 students in 26 different countries, 70% of whom werefemale, 28% male, and 2% transgender. The fields of study involved were 56% humanities and 38% physical sciences.

德州大學聖安東尼奧分校健康科學中心神經學家特蕾莎·伊萬斯帶領的研究團隊。對26個國家的2279名學生做了調查，其中70%受訪者爲女性，28%爲男性，2%爲變性者。調查涉及的學科有56%是文科，38%是理科。

Approximately 40% of the respondents scored moderate to severe for anxiety. Nearly 40 percent of respondents also showed signs of moderate to severe depression.

在受訪者中，40%左右的人出現了中度至重度焦慮症狀，近40%的人還出現了中度至重度抑鬱。

Consistent with previous research on non-student populations, transgender and gender-nonconforming graduate students, along with women, were more likely to experience anxietyand depression than their cisgender male counterparts.

與之前對非學生羣體的調查結果相一致的是，變性者、性別認識不清者和女性比順性別男性更容易焦慮和抑鬱。

The prevalence of anxiety and depression in transgender or gender-nonconforming graduatestudents was 55% and 57%, respectively. Among cis students, 43% of women had anxiety and 41% were depressed. That's compared to 34% of cis men reporting symptoms of anxiety and 35% showing signs of depression.

變性者和性別認識不清者感到焦慮抑鬱的概率分別是55%和57%。在順性別學生中，43%的女性感到焦慮，41%的女性感到抑鬱。相比之下，34%的順性別男性出現焦慮症狀，35%的順性別男性出現抑鬱症狀。

These incredibly high rates of anxiety and depression, when compared to the generalpopulation, are alarming and should serve as a wakeup call for the academia, Evans says.

伊萬斯稱，這樣的概率比普通人羣要高得多，學術界應該敲響警鐘。

It's not hard to understand why life as a Ph.D. student can literally drive some people crazy. Long hours, social isolation, and feelings of inadequacy can break even the most motivatedpersons among us.

讀研的日子能把人逼瘋，這點不難理解。漫漫長日、脫離社會和力不從心感，甚至可以讓我們身邊最積極的人崩潰。

Top it all off with a generous topping of impostor syndrome, and when this situationpersists, the anxiety and depression can become chronic.

最終你開始不斷自我懷疑，長此以往，焦慮和抑鬱可能會難以治癒。

One obvious solution is improving the work-life balance among graduate students.

最直接的解決辦法是改善研究生的工作生活平衡。

Of the graduate students who experienced moderate to severe anxiety, 56% did not agreethat their work-life balance was 'good', versus 24% who did. Among graduate students withdepression, more than half (55%) did not agree with the statement (21% agreed).

在感到中度至重度焦慮的研究生中，有56%的人認爲自己不能“很好”地維持工作與生活的平衡，有24%的人認爲兩者很平衡。而在感到抑鬱的研究生中，超過55%的人認爲不能維持工作和生活的平衡(21%的人認爲能維持平衡)。

Proper mentorship is another aspect that can impact a graduate student's mental health. Among the respondents with anxiety or depression, only half agreed that their immediatementors provided "real" mentorship.

與導師的良好關係也是影響研究生心理健康的一個因素。在出現焦慮和抑鬱的受訪者中，只有一半人認爲直系導師爲他們提供了“真正”的指導。
