Consider, for example, this report <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.psychologytoday.com_us_blog_theory-2Dknowledge_201811_the-2Dcollege-2Dstudent-2Dmental-2Dhealth-2Dcrisis-2Dupdate&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=O-n1CQ9cuHr2OHxgQuQtqYr86TouyFYCfmEv0-AbQUo&s=QGSFQwBWjGKN3aZ9I9pTlPwSuIC-Cq79ohKRG_hzPyg&e=> that found 12% of college students seriously considered suicide in the past year and that was up from 6% ten years earlier.
