Male students less likely to seek mental health help in college

The Student Central programme at the Co Kildare college helps students participate successfully with the help of a psychologist.
While the numbers of students at NUIM with a mental health condition rose from 49 to 64 in four years, this only takes account of those registering for support which requires documentation from a psychiatrist. A 2010 Dublin City University study found up to 70% of people with mental illness choose to hide their condition.
