> I think most teenagers are simply stressed from the constant work that's necessary for the college admissions process.

I have absolutely no data to back this up but a difficult college admission process isn't novel to 2012+. This is also ignores the plenty of kids/young adults that never went to college and still suffer from whatever this epidemic is.

We'd need to review data for people who didn't go to undergrad/grad to see if your idea still holds truth.

* people who didn’t try to go

If stress from college prep is an issue, it’s only people that weren’t going through that who you’d want in the other bucket.
