The figures are striking: almost 37% of Catalan university students currently live with a mental health diagnosis, primarily anxiety disorders (15.4%) and depressive disorders (7.1%). Looking at their lifespan, nearly half of the students have been diagnosed with a mental health problem at some point. This is compounded by a high level of emotional exhaustion: more than a third of students report feeling emotionally drained every day. These data are taken from...Study on mental health in the university system of Catalonia (2023), promoted by the Department of Research and Universities, and prepared with the participation of Catalan universities. The report goes further and the conclusion is clear: this emotional distress does not only affect the student body, but stress and burnout are common to all workers in the university community.
