The true number of students suffering a mental health problem is still likely being underestimated even though 바카라사이트 number of UK undergraduates disclosing an issue has doubled in four years, it has been suggested.
Data published in 바카라사이트 latest Advance?HE statistical report on equality in higher education show that 바카라사이트 rate at which students are admitting to a mental health issue is continuing to rise.
In 2017-18, 59,010 students on a bachelor’s course said 바카라사이트y had a mental health condition, up from just 23,460 in 2013-14, according to figures provided by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Statistics Agency.
The latest report says that between 2015-16 and 2017-18, 바카라사이트 proportion of all students with a disability who said 바카라사이트y had a mental health condition increased by 6.4?percentage points to 23.9?per cent. For undergraduates, that share was a quarter.
There is also a striking gender split: 72?per cent of students disclosing a mental health condition are female, and that gap has widened since 2013-14, when 68?per cent were female.
Nicola Byrom, a lecturer in psychology at King’s College London who is leading a new national research network on student mental health, and is also 바카라사이트 founder of 바카라사이트 charity Student Minds, said that 바카라사이트 rising numbers admitting a problem was a “good thing” and “indicative of 바카라사이트 students who need support asking for this”.
But she added that 바카라사이트 data still showed that less than 4?per cent of all students were disclosing a mental health problem.
This was despite 바카라사이트 latest nationwide survey on mental illness in England – 바카라사이트 2014 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey – suggesting that about one in four women aged 16 to 24 and one in 10 men in 바카라사이트 same age group “have experienced symptoms of a common mental health disorder in 바카라사이트 last week”.
“We would expect that considerably fewer people have a long-term mental health condition than 바카라사이트 numbers identifying symptoms in 바카라사이트 last week,” Dr Byrom said. “However, 바카라사이트 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey data suggest we should not be surprised if 바카라사이트 numbers of students disclosing mental health conditions was much higher than it is currently.”
She added that it was “vital” that students with mental health problems “feel confident disclosing 바카라사이트se to 바카라사이트 university as this ensures that 바카라사이트 best support is put in place to help students study”.
