“…The prevalence of depressive disorders found in the present study coincides with the prevalence at Bailer and colleges (2008) at the University of Mannheim. A comparison of the results for anxiety disorders showed a much higher prevalence in the present study (Bailer et al 2008). During the 2 weeks prior to the survey, 16.3 % of the sample showed anxiety symptoms and 8.4 % of the sample experienced symptoms of both disorders.…”

“…In German student samples, gender differences for depression were found by Steptoe et al (2007). Bailer et al (2008) were only able to show gender difference for anxiety and not for depression. The prevalence of depression and anxiety in different fields of study and different years were also explored.…”

“…In the German sample, 11 % of the male and 15 % of the female students scored above the threshold for mild to moderate depression (Steptoe et al 2007). Bailer et al (2008) conducted a survey at the University of Mannheim in Germany which showed that 14.1 % of the students had a depressive syndrome within the 2 weeks prior to the survey, and 6.0 % met the criteria for major depression. The prevalence of panic disorders (1.7 %) and other anxiety syndromes (2.9 %) were much lower.…”

Aim Mental health among university students represents an important and growing public health concern. International research has shown a high prevalence of depression and anxiety among university students. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression as well as anxiety among German university students and to assess gender differences and discrepancies between fields of study as well as class years. Additionally, an important public health issuethe impact of structural conditions at the university on depression and anxiety-was addressed. Subject and methods A Web-based survey was conducted at two German universities, employing data from 1,707 students. Anxiety and depressive disorders were assessed with the 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4), and structural conditions at the universities were also determined. Results During the 2 weeks prior to the survey, 14.2 % of the students showed depressive and 16.3 % anxiety symptoms; symptoms of both disorders were experienced by 8.4 %. Gender differences and differences correlated with study year and field were found, but the effect size showed that these were not empirically relevant. Structural conditions, such as study demands, time latitude, social support by students, qualification potential and decision latitude, proved to be significant predictors for depression and accounted for 18 % of the total variance. Demands, time latitude and social support by students were proven to be significant predictors for anxiety, contributing to 16 % of the total variance. Conclusions These findings highlight the need to address mental health problems among university students and to initiate interventions. Furthermore, the findings implicate that study demands placed on students should be adjusted, and study resources, especially time latitude and social support by other students, should be promoted.

“…Some other published papers have pointed out that only a relatively small proportion of the students affected by mental disorders seek and receive clinical attention. [14][15][16][17] This applies especially to substance-related disorders 18 and might explain the somewhat low prevalence of those disorders in our sample. Also at lower proportions, we found students with diagnoses commonly regarded as severe mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, along with bipolar disorder.…”

Academic performance of students who underwent psychiatric treatment at the students’ mental health service of a Brazilian university

et al. 2017

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: University students are generally at the typical age of onset of mental disorders that may affect their academic performance. We aimed to characterize the university students attended by psychiatrists at the students’ mental health service (SAPPE) and to compare their academic performance with that of non-patient students. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study based on review of medical files and survey of academic data at a Brazilian public university. METHODS: Files of 1,237 students attended by psychiatrists at SAPPE from 2004 to 2011 were reviewed. Their academic performance coefficient (APC) and status as of July 2015 were compared to those of a control group of 2,579 non-patient students matched by gender, course and year of enrolment. RESULTS: 37% of the patients had had psychiatric treatment and 4.5% had made suicide attempts before being attended at SAPPE. Depression (39.1%) and anxiety disorders/phobias (33.2%) were the most frequent diagnoses. Severe mental disorders such as psychotic disorders (3.7%) and bipolar disorder (1.9%) were less frequent. Compared with non-patients, the mean APC among the undergraduate patients was slightly lower (0.63; standard deviation, SD: 0.26; versus 0.64; SD: 0.28; P = 0.025), but their course completion rates were higher and course abandonment rates were lower. Regarding postgraduate students, patients and non-patients had similar completion rates, but patients had greater incidence of discharge for poor performance and lower dropout rates. CONCLUSION: Despite the inclusion of socially vulnerable people with severe mental disorders, the group of patients had similar academic performance, and in some aspects better, than, that of non-patients.

“…Kolip et al 1994), gilt heute als weitestgehend revidiert . Auch die empirischen Erkenntnisse zu dieser Problemstellung untermauern dies: Die bis dato vorliegenden Studien beschreiben nicht nur einen sukzessiven Anstieg der studienspezifischen Stressbelastung , vermehrt wird sogar vom Auftreten psychischer Erkrankungen bei Studierenden berichtet (Bailer et al 2008;Wydler et al 2010). Andere Studien beschreiben einen Anstieg des auf Stress und psychosoziale Belastungen bezogenen Substanzkonsums .…”
