Abstract

Studies show that international college students are at high risk of gaining mental issues, including depression, due to adjustment difficulties. International college students demonstrate the demands of help dealing with mental problems compared with local college students. This study indicates that stressors may form a depression in Chinese international students when studying abroad. The stressors include transcultural adjustments, academic performance, and language barrier highly correlate with depression. Then the study addresses the behavior of low-help seeking from counseling centers related to depression and suggests some solutions to help Chinese international students deal with mental issues and promote this community development in studying abroad.
