individuals (90% PhD students and 10% Master’sstudents) from 26 countries found that graduate students were more than six times as likely toexperience depression and anxiety than the general population, with 39% reporting moderate-severe depression and 41% reporting moderate-severe anxiety (Evans et al., 2018). These globaltrends are also evident among graduate students in the United States. A study conducted at theUniversity of California Irvine revealed that over the prior 12 months, 9.9% of the graduatestudents had considered suicide (Louden & Skeem, 2008). Graduate students within science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines appear to be at an especially highrisk for experiencing mental health concerns (Deziel, Olawo
