He reached out to a colleague from a major university who gave his thoughts via email, "...There has been an increase in diagnosable mental health problems, but there has also been a decrease in the ability of many young people to manage the everyday bumps in the road of life." While many professors have recognized said trend among millennial undergrads, the uncomfortable stigma surrounding mental health can cause even the most opinionated of critics to refrain from speaking their mind.
