"Overall, an average of five times as many students in 2007 surpassed
thresholds in one or more mental health categories, compared with
those who did so in 1938. A few individual categories increased at an
even greater rate - with six times as many scoring high in two areas:
-"hypomania," a measure of anxiety and unrealistic optimism (from 5
per cent of students in 1938 to 31 per cent in 2007)
-and depression (from 1 per cent to 6 per cent).
Twenge said the most current numbers may even be low given all the
students taking antidepressants and other psychotropic medications,
which help alleviate symptoms the survey asks about."
