The purpose of this article is to discuss the state of mental health in accounting education. Based on a survey of 250 students at a medium size AACSB accredited university, we identify causes of mental health problems such as stress and depression, and offer suggestions for university administrators and faculty in their goal to foster increased mental health awareness. Such an environment is not only conducive to a positive learning culture, but could alsolead to a more passionate and engaged alumni base. Survey results indicated the biggest causes of stress for students are workload and concerns for grades. Paradoxically, only 2% of the respondents would approach a professor, and only 4% would approach anacademic advisor when facing these struggles. These results suggest an opportunity for university officials and faculty to play a more supportive role in the psychological and emotional well-being of students.
