【 摘 要 】

Discussions about mental health in academia have painted a concerning picture. A recent onlinesurvey with 2,279 participants from 26 countries and 234 institutions reported that graduatestudents are more than six times as likely to experience depression and anxiety as compared tothe general population (Evans et al., 2018). Similarly, a study evaluating mental health problemsamong 3,659 Ph.D. students from Belgium indicates that the prevalence of psychiatric disordersis higher among academics than the general highly educated population (Levecque et al., 2017).Additionally, when directly screened for depressive symptoms, 47% of Ph.D. students and 37%of Master’s students surveyed at the University of California met the required diagnosis score fordepressive disorder.
