Dr. Veronica Anderson, Founder and Host of web radio talk show, Wellness for the Real World, a weekly resource for wellness of mind, body and spirit, writes about the mental and emotional instability of today’s college students facing life’s difficult valleys.

NEW YORK, NY – January 4, 2011 – Dr. Veronica Anderson, Founder and Host of health and wellness web radio talk show, Wellness for the Real World, recently published a blog on her website www.drveronica.com about college student suicide and depression. The blog, titled “Is Your College Student Depression Proof?” delves into the link between the increased occurrences of college-aged suicide and – in some cases – the tragic neglect of these hopeless students’ parents in teaching resiliency.

Dr. Anderson writes, “Our society is under siege from advancing technology, and today’s students are possibly bearing a greater burden than we did at their age. Are we preparing the decision makers of our future with the durability they need to get through successfully, in today’s privacy-starved society?”

“Tragic occurrences of student suicide across the country strikes me as more common than past generations, and while some may be a result of chemical imbalances, toxic diet, physical injury or tragic offenses, I have to be bold and argue that lives could be saved as a result of tougher love during impressionable upbringing years,” asserts Dr. Anderson.

Wellness for the Real World features information on developing a healthy and fit mind, body and spirit in today’s dynamic society. Dr. Anderson adds her easily understandable, fun-infused voice to the broad-audience discussion on today’s most popular medicines, alternative treatments, health policies and opinions of wellness – so that her listeners can benefit from truly vigorous life in the real world today.
