Recent worldwide studies have shown that as many as 45 percent of all students are dealing with mental health problems, and levels of anxiety are more than twice as high among students than non-students. Expert health officials have discovered that more than 20 percent of students are troubled with psychiatric problems, and 35 percent of college sophomores displayed symptoms of depression and anxiety neurosis. Demand for psychiatric counseling has skyrocketed and a record number of freshmen carry a history of eating disorders, substance abuse, alcoholism, therapeutic needs and taking of medications.
Experts, worldwide, are failing to pinpoint the real cause of the problem. Some believe the problem has been attributed to busy schedules and student debt. Also personality defects, which are normally ignored by teachers and parents as long as the students get good grades, is seen as a possible cause of the mental problems. It is clear that a missing element in these students education is how to live happy, balanced lives.
Worship of money and commercial skills has resulted in materialism in education. Good grades and performance have been equated with overall success. But modern education fails to educate the whole person. Worldwide, parents and colleges fail to teach students how to live. The result of all this is the breaking of God's Ten Commandments--producing unhappiness and despondency.
True education provides knowledge of the actions and attitudes that lead to true happiness and balance--socially and mentally. A true education can only be achieved through the acquisition of spiritual knowledge, taught in the pages of God’s Word. Hopefully, one day true knowledge will cure this world of its mental problems and maybe even bring world peace. I hope that day is not to far off.
