(1) According to the American College Health Association’s most recent annual national survey, 30 percent of college students reported feeling "so depressed that it was difficult to function" at some time over the past year. Nearly three fourths of respondents in a 2011 National Alliance on Mental Illness study of college students diagnosed with mental health conditions said they experienced a mental health crisis while in school. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other federal disability laws prohibit discrimination against students whose psychiatric (精神病的) disabilities "substantially limit a major life activity" and mandates that colleges and universities provide them with " reasonable accommodations" —such as lower course loads and extended deadlines.
(2) Despite that very clearly stated law, dozens of current students across the country told Newsweek they were punished for seeking help: kicked out of campus housing with nowhere else to go, abruptly forced to withdraw from school and even involuntarily committed to psychiatric wards. "Colleges are very accustomed to accommodating learning and physical disabilities, but they don’t understand simple ways of accommodating mental health disabilities," says Professor Peter Lake, an expert on higher education law and policy who sees widespread fear and reluctance across the board to " promote diversity that encompasses mental disabilities and mood disorders. " Lake often tells skeptics about a man who suffered from clinical depression and constantly talked about suicide: His name was Abraham Lincoln. " We don’t want to remove these people," Lake says. "We want to expand the definition of diversity to make sure they’re included. "
(3) Most lifetime cases of mental health conditions begin by the age of 24, and thanks to a variety of factors, including rising antidepressant (抗抑郁药) prescription rates and stigma reduction efforts, college students are more and more likely to ask campus counselors for assistance. The number of students seeking counseling for "severe" psychological problems jumped from 16 percent in 2000 to 39 percent in 2012; the percentage of students who report suicidal thoughts has risen along with it.
(4) " Schools should encourage students to seek treatment. But a lot of policies I see involve excessive use of discipline and involuntary leaves of absence, and they discourage students from asking for the help they need," says Karen Bower, a private attorney who specializes in disability discrimination cases in higher education. " Ultimately, that makes the campus less safe. "
(5) Two large-scale studies found that around 10 percent of college student respondents had thought about suicide in the past year, but only 1. 5 percent admitted to having made a suicide attempt. Combined with data from other studies, that suggests that the odds that a student with suicidal thoughts will actually commit suicide are 1,000 to 1. "Thus, policies that impose restrictions on students who manifest suicidal thought will sweep in 999 students who would not commit suicide for every student who will end his or her life," Paul S. Appelbaum writes in Law & Psychiatry: "Depressed? Get Out!"
(6) "Colleges don’t want people who are suicidal around, so what’s supposed to happen to them?" says Ira Burnim, legal director of the DC Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law. "We’re going to lock them in a bomb shelter?" Kicking students off campus for mental health issues typically does more harm than good by isolating them from their support systems when what they really need is stability and empathy, he says. Moreover, it’s often a completely unnecessary overreaction. [br] Students with mental disabilities might be punished in the following ways EXCEPT______.
