Look for the Signs: Introduction
Across the nation, depression has become a serious and prevalent
issue among college students. Unfortunately, depression is often
stigmatized, ignored, or untreated. The UC Berkeley campus is
addressing this problem by raising students' awareness of the
signs of depression and what can be done to treat it. We hope
the information in this campaign will help students understand
the seriousness of the issue, recognize the signs of depression,
and encourage them to seek appropriate treatment. In doing so,
we hope to make mental health and wellness a greater priority
for UC Berkeley students and staff, and to promote a positive
and educated outlook toward depression. Next:
