Environment and life experiences also affect the risk of depression among college students. University students are subject to many insurmountable challenges, often characterized by stress. (Depression and College Students, 2012) College students who are likely adjusting to homesickness while living on their own for the first time, discovering who they are and who they belong to, worrying about their finances, and experiencing Conflict in their relationships can cause them to feel isolated. All of these things are major triggers for major life transitions and stressors. (Mayo Clinic Staff 2013) Anxiety often leads to depression in college students. In a study of 47% of 27% of 283 students identified as depressed, they also had high rates of anxiety. Women scored higher on anxiety than their male counterparts. Students with high depression scores also had high scores on anxiety, intrusive thoughts, intrusive thought control, and sleep disturbances. It is known that controlling intrusive thoughts leads to depression and insomnia. Sleep disorders (like insomnia) are also known to trigger depression. Sleep disorders are a common dilemma among college students (Vazquez & Blanco, FIELD, TIFFANY, DIEGO, MIGUEL, PELAEZ, MARTHA, DEEDS, OSVELIA, DELGADO, JEANNETTE, 2012). Students' levels of self-esteem and support from friends and family were often found to trigger depression in college students, especially with the added stress of transitioning into adulthood. (Lee, Dickson, Conley, and Holmbeck 2014) One study suggests that societal pressure to be perfect was the biggest stressor among college students. (Jeffrey Klibert, Dorian A. Lamis, Walt Collins, K.
