cause of personality disorders.
Stress is expressed through a variety of symptoms that
can be hazardous to student’s physical and mental
health. With such high expectations to do well during
college, students may become sleep deprived, which
impairs mental capacity, but sleep deprivation is only one
of a vast array of symptoms.
