Based on student responses to probe questions during a review of background information, selected modules from the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders (SCID-I; First, Spitzer, Gibbon, & Williams, 1996) were administered to evaluate for the presence of both exclusionary and comorbid psychiatric conditions. Seventeen of the 43 students (40%) met DSM-IV criteria for mood disorders, and 14 (33%) met DSM-IV criteria for an anxiety disorder. Other comorbid diagnoses included adjustment disorders, substance abuse and dependence disorders, and learning disorders. Overall, 25 of the 43 students (58%) had at least one comorbid diagnosis. A majority of students (59%) reported that, at some point
during college, they had taken psychiatric medication, either for ADHD symptoms or for another disorder. Data also indicated that 38% of students had utilized psychotherapy since starting college.
