America's College Students Are Sad, Alert  How are our visibly
depressed college students faring this year? Poorly. Very
poorly.   One out of every nine college kids is walking around
clinically depressed and/ or anxious. You can probably throw in
an equal number who've never been formally diagnosed. And though
this story seems to focus on the question of whether kids are
just faking it to get out of class, our time would be better
spent focusing on the real problem: the fact that our college
kids are coping with their mental health issues by abusing
"study drugs."  Kids, if you're depressed, seek professional
counseling. Or at least get some real fucking drugs. "Study
drugs?" Jesus Christ. I am embarrassed on your behalf. Just
stick to booze if your connections are that bad.  But
preferably, counseling.  [WSJ. Photo: Shutterstock]
