● Greater academic demands
● Being on one’s own in a new environment – with new responsibilities
● Changes in family relations and one’s social life
● Financial responsibilities
● Exposure to new people, ideas, and temptations
● Being away from home, often for the first time
● Making decisions, on a higher level than one is used to
● Substance abuse
● Awareness of one’s sexual identity and orientation
● Preparing for life after graduation
● Psychological make-up can also play a role in vulnerability to depression. People who
have low self-esteem, who consistently view themselves and the world with pessimism,
or are readily overwhelmed by stress may be especially prone to depression
