Students with mental health conditions can benefit significantly from this comprehensive college guide. It explores the mental health landscape on college campuses and provides expert insights into common conditions like anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. The guide explains how colleges can accommodate students with mental health conditions and offers essential advice on understanding their rights.

Key messages in the guide emphasize the importance of students knowing their rights. Under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, students with mental health conditions are protected against discrimination and entitled to necessary accommodations, empowering them to advocate for their needs.

The guide also covers assistive apps for managing mental health conditions, stressing their complementarity to professional treatment. It highlights available scholarships for these students, including The Quell Foundation Fighter Scholarship, the Baer Reintegration Scholarship, and the Google Lime Scholarship, among others.

Moreover, the guide directs students to organizations assisting, such as The Jed Foundation, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), MentalHealth.gov, the National Coalition for Mental Health Recovery (NCMHR), and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). These organizations offer valuable support and information to ensure students can get the help they need.
