Though not every college stu- dent will experience depression, about 10 percent of Americans suffer with it, according to Andree Gitchell, Rockingham Memorial Hospital director of behavioral health. Thirty percent of freshmen suffer from depres- sion, and 80 percent of people diagnosed get better, she added. Some common signs of depression are persistent sad, anxious or empty moods, feel- ings of hopelessness, pes- simism, guilt, loss of interest in things once enjoyed — includ- ing sex, fatigue and difficulty in concentrating. Persistent physical symp- toms that don't respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders and chron- ic pain are also common signs of depression, according to a depression guide issued by the National Institute of Mental Health offered at the Vamer House, an on-campus counseling center The Vamer House offers free services from trained profes- sionals to help students deal with issues such as depression. Pamphlets on mental illness and other disorders are available to students in the waiting area. These pamphlets give informa- tion about depression and offer KRISTY NKOLICH^lfer..™« causes for it.
