3 Things To Know About Stress And Anxiety Among College Students
SHARE

In 2023, the Center of Collegiate Mental Health released a report highlighting anxiety as the most common concern among college students seeking counseling services on campus. Understanding the nuances of stress and anxiety is crucial for addressing these issues effectively. Here are three key points to consider when it comes to stress and anxiety among college students:

### The Difference Between Anxiety And Stress

The American Psychological Association (APA) distinguishes between stress and anxiety, noting that while they share similar symptoms, stress typically arises from external demands placed on individuals, such as academic pressures or interpersonal conflicts. In contrast, anxiety stems from internal sources and can persist even in the absence of external stressors. It is essential to recognize this distinction to provide appropriate support to students experiencing either condition.

### Anxiety And Stress Are Not The Best Motivators

While some students may believe that stress and anxiety drive them to perform better academically, relying on negative emotions for motivation is not sustainable or conducive to long-term success. Intrinsic motivators, such as a desire for mastery and accomplishment, are more effective in promoting positive academic outcomes. Understanding this can help students cultivate healthier and more sustainable approaches to achieving their goals.

### Anxiety And Stress Are Altered Physiological States

Stress and anxiety trigger the body’s fight-or-flight response, activating the sympathetic nervous system. Learning to manage these physiological responses through relaxation techniques can help reduce feelings of anxiety and stress. It is important to prioritize self-care and avoid behaviors that can exacerbate these conditions, such as heavy cannabis or alcohol use. Additionally, addressing factors like sleep deprivation can also play a significant role in managing anxiety levels.

In conclusion, navigating stress and anxiety in college requires a multifaceted approach that includes coping strategies, intrinsic motivation, and self-care practices. While experiencing these challenges is common among students, seeking support from campus counseling centers can provide valuable resources and guidance. By understanding the complexities of stress and anxiety, students can take proactive steps towards maintaining their mental well-being and academic success.
