Pima Community College is offering its students free anonymous screening for depression and other mental health problems at West Campus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, which is National Depression Screening Day.
"Four out of 10 college students report feeling so depressed that they have difficulty functioning in everyday life," according to a PCC press release.
"Many students don't associate their lack of energy with a mood disorder," PCC counselor Melinda Franz said in the press release. "Often, they feel like being too tired all the time is a normal part of being a student. This is not true. We're offering completely anonymous in-person screenings for depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder. Students don't have to feel this way. Help is available."
