What Causes Depression in College Students?

Answer:
One of the main reasons you see so much depression in college students is that the ages between 20 and 30 are the time when many mood disorders appear. There might have been some symptoms before college that were just not severe enough for the student to notice.

Another reason is that you are away from home for the first time, and having more responsibilities and stresses.
