As colleges and universities across the country report an explosion of mental health problems, a new book argues that college life may actually be more stressful than ever. Dr. Anthony Rostain, co-author of ‘The Stressed Years of Their Lives,’ notes that today’s college students are experiencing an “inordinate amount of anxiety” — much of it centered on “surviving college and doing well.” Co-author and family therapist B. Janet Hibbs joins Rostain to talk about the root causes of the stress and how families can help.
