Summary:Parents and students want their experiences to be life-changing. The years spent in college are often a period of learning and development for many students. But obstacles like sorrow, despair, anxiety, sadness depression, though, can stand in the way. The prevalence of anxiety and depression among college students has significantly grown since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a recent survey, severe depression and anxiety affect one in three college students. The early detection and treatment of depression can be aided by parents and students being aware of the risk factors and symptoms. In the present study, the validated DASS-21 scale was used as the evaluation tool. It was discovered that college students exhibit mild levels of stress, moderate levels of depression, and severe levels of anxiety. It was shown that female students were more likely than their male counterparts to experience psychological distress.
