Look for the Signs: Introduction

Across the nation, depression has become a serious and prevalent issue among college students. Unfortunately, depression is often stigmatized, ignored, or untreated. The UC Berkeley campus is addressing this problem by raising students' awareness of the signs of depression and what can be done to treat it. We hope the information in this campaign will help students understand the seriousness of the issue, recognize the signs of depression, and encourage them to seek appropriate treatment. In doing so, we hope to make mental health and wellness a greater priority for UC Berkeley students and staff, and to promote a positive and educated outlook toward depression.
