Psychiatric Medications and Psychiatry

Medications often can be helpful to students struggling with depression, anxiety and other emotional concerns.

We have a strong commitment to helping students understand their difficulties and to offering a range of options.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects an estimated 5 percent of college-aged adults. The principal characteristics of ADHD are difficulties with attention and sometimes hyperactivity and/or impulsivity.

ADHD assessment and treatments are available through University Health Services (UHS) or through community specialists.

Satellite Offices

For other students, the Tang Center can feel too far, or too formal a setting. Some graduate students can feel uncomfortable running into the undergraduate students they teach. Making contact with a counselor at a satellite office can help demystify the services provided at UHS.

Most locations are only offering virtual counseling at this time, please...

Group Counseling

Many students benefit from counseling in a group format where common concerns can be explored. UHS group counseling sessions are free and do not require health insurance.
