Why are so many college students struggling with their mental health today?

In this week’s episode of Now Serving: A Side of Therapy, Makiko from College of San Mateo (CSM) joins us to unpack the unique mental-health challenges college students face — from academic pressure and burnout to identity exploration and cultural expectations.
