Novum Psychiatry Wellesley
As a growing number of young people report struggling with mental health issues, universities and colleges are taking the necessary steps to help. However, even with the growing number of mental health institutions in the MetroWest area, there are still not enough psychiatrists and the needs of the community are often not met.
‘WELLESLEY LACKS SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS HOSPITALIZED FOR MENTAL HEALTH’ read a recent headline. This article talked about a person hospitalized for mental health issues in Wellesley who did not receive the support they very much needed. Still much awareness is yet to be spread when it comes to mental health. For many, Wellesley has now become a hostile community due to the fact that there are not enough mental health institutions present.
A recent survey showed that in Southeastern Massachusetts, a high number of adults experienced mental health issues for 15 days or more at a time. In the MetroWest region, 6.2% of adults reported poor mental health. At the same time, middle school students reported having mental health issues, including depression, 15%, stress, 14.1%, and self harm, 9%. Unfortunately, 11% reported that they have considered suicide while 3.2% have attempted it.
A staggering 34.9% of high school students reported that life is currently very stressful, another 22% reported depressive symptoms, 15.2% self-injury, and 12.9% that they have considered suicide, while 4.5% said that they have attempted it.
These statistics show the lack of awareness and support adults that students receive when it comes to mental health. In Wellesley, students are not given the support they need and the stigma attached to mental health makes it more challenging for them to come forward and seek help.
