Because it's become cool to have a mental illness. Look on facebook at any time and it's full of everyone talking about what real depression is and how they were all emotionally abused.

It's honestly a joke.

Now, if you have real mental issues then that's fine. More power to you. I take zoloft for depression. But I don't feel the need to advertise it.

It's not my place to judge whether the mental illness hold any true merit, but my job is to treat every mental health issue as a real issue with real consequences. The problem we are facing in universities is that the increased workload caught us unprepared, forcing us to hire more staff, training existing staff, and purchase various software packages used to track meetings with students, compile threat reports, resource guides, etc.

It's a costly and time-consuming process and it keeps me from doing my other million jobs to run the college.
