“…It has been estimated that up to 24 % of young people will have suffered from at least one clinically significant depressive episode by the time they are 18 years old (NHMRC, 1997). A study of an Oxford college found that 31% of male and 35 % of female students had contemplated suicide (Sell & Robson, 1998). Another study, conducted over a 14-year period, reported a higher rate of definite suicide than in the expected figure for the general population aged 18-25 (Hawton et al 1995).…”

A cluster randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of a simple marketing intervention to educate students about depression. Psychological Medicine, 37 (3 ABSTRACTBackground. Depression is an important cause of disability worldwide, with many people experiencing their first depressive episode before the age of 18. University students are particularly vulnerable to depression. Depression can be treated successfully in most patients. However, for treatment to be successful, depressed people need to recognize their symptoms as illness, present to medical care, and be aware that effective treatment is available. A thoughtful health campaign might therefore increase the likelihood of successful treatment.

This study describes the socio-demographic characteristics and eating disorders symptomatology of university students assessed by a specialised NHS eating disorders service in the UK over a 4-year period. Information was gathered on past treatment history, source of referral, details of university and course of study, whether the patient was still open to the service or discharged, and if the patient had dropped out of contact from services. The study also describes the diagnosis of the assessed patients as well as the results of the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and Revised Symptom Check List 90 (SCL-90-R) questionnaires. The study shows that the university students attending an eating disorder service often suffer from severe conditions, which are generally well-established before they start their university studies. The study discusses the implication of those results in service delivery and future service development.
