Abstract
(type = abstract)
Many collegiate student-athletes experience high levels of stress leading to anxiety and depression. Many of these athletes are at significant risk for developing psychological and phys- ical long-term effects. This paper evaluated statistical information and comparative studies that indicated the levels of anxiety, stress, and depression that differ between the general population, college students, and collegiate student-athletes within the United States. This research revealed that collegiate student-athletes are often predisposed to a more extreme set of pressures than the general student population. A review of the extant literature confirmed that the percentage of collegiate student-athletes that suffer from anxiety and depression is not higher than the general population or non-athlete college students. However, these same studies revealed that collegiate student-athletes do suffer from more serious mental health issues including bulimia, depression, OCD, panic attacks, insomnia, and other sleep disorders that are found in the general college population. The demands and stressors placed on collegiate student-athletes predisposes them to more severe anxiety and a unique set of stressors than the rest of the general population. More rigorous research that links college sports programs to poor mental health is critical for understanding the mental health issues of today’s collegiate student-athlete.
