College can be a roller-coaster ride for many students and during this time period they are going through many changes. This is a time when most people are just trying to find themselves. While in the process of finding themselves a lot of students experience hardships within their personal or academic life which can affect their mental health. When someone is mentally going through something such as depression it can really get in the way of their success rate in life. For example they lose lack of interest and overall just lose focus. Before you know it they spiral out of control due to their depression.

This topic is very special to me because I suffer from depression and it has deeply affected my life especially with school. In previous semesters my grades have significantly dropped and now i’m playing catch up with my academic career. My name is Markeis and i’m a journalism major at Santa Monica College ; welcome to my blog. My blog is titled “Everything about mental health” and this is a blog that will highlight mental health issues among college students.

With this blog my goal is to shed light about mental health issues such as depression. This particular blog is needed because there aren’t many blogs that cater to mental health. I will not only share my own testimony but I will share other people stories as well. From time to time I will profile and highlight places that specialize in helping people that suffer from depression or other mental health issues. Overall readers will leave this blog being more informed on mental issues. They will have a better understanding and maybe they can even help others who suffer from a mental illness. All in all Subscribe to my blog and learn something new who knows it might change your life!
