When I read this story about the gap in university mental health services, I immediately interpreted it as, “Well, school makes people unhappy!”.

But looking at the “Serious Psychological Distress” of the CDC’s NHIS indicated that the incidence of psychologically distressed students at Sacramento state (about 1000 students every year, from a student body of 28000) wasn’t far off from the national average of ~3%.
