Comments: Whoa
I think they're using depression VERY broadly in that case - depressed over an SO dumping you, getting a bad grade, cyclothymia, etc. I don't think we're talking about on-going depression which requires treatment. Not disputing your assessment, merely suggesting that perhaps the counselor included all that in the number.

I read in Newsweek several months ago that the more intensive the school, the higher the suicide rate. MIT for instance supposedly had the highest suicide rate. But I don't know... While it's very possible that high academic schools produce the most stress...does stress directly relate to depression and suicide ideation?
