problems, according to Dr. Robert Heins, mental health
director ;

weeks of the semester. .
We see a few more crises," Heins said, "and
a higher proportion of ichoot-related problems'
Heins said students who Come in to the clinic either
don't like a course they are in, don't like an instructor,'
or have procrastinated during the semester, i,
The pressure for good gravies is very intense," Heins

agitation and because of the high anxiety, many ttudenti
can't concentrate, and ultimately can't function as
students, he said.
Talk solutions
Heins said in some cases the solution the clinic provides
is simply to give students someone to talk to. Heins said
students need someone to sit down with them and help
sort out their problems.
The clinic will provide medication for those students
who are suffering from lack of concentration, Heins said.
The Descriptions are usually given for one week, and
usually don't have to be renewed, he added.
Heins described the threat of suicide as a "big cloud
over our head" but added that for "years and years"
there haven't been any threats after students received
treatment.

Suicide threats ; ; i- V 'r '
Dr. Garland Bare, medical director of the health cen
ter, said that ; in March he received suicide threats
from two students in one day. ,
One of the threats was a potential overdose because of
personal and school problems and the other was a
problem of loneliness, . ,
Bare said both cases were referred to the mental health
clinic. ' ' ' ' '
Most suicide attempts are a cry for help. Bare said,
and statistics show those who commit suicide talk to
someone before hand.
Heins said the clinic provides 24-hour coverage all-year
round for students needing help. ; , t
