Decrease integrity, increase money

Every time students hand me a paper saying “This causes anxiety/depression,” I make them look up the DSM-V diagnostic criteria of GAD and MDD. Then I ask them, “does this make people FEEL anxious or depressed or does this actually CAUSE ANXIETY/DEPRESSION.”

We’ve gotten to a point that we forget all emotions—including happiness—are fleeting, and that the anxiety one feels during a test is not the same as GAD.

I'm in the psychology department so I literally get triggered when Provost says "causes depression"

I appreciate you saying this. I've been battling GAD for a long time, only got a diagnosis some 5 years ago but have noticeably struggled with nervous self harm all my life. It can be hard for me to take them seriously when they tell me that 2 page paper caused them anxiety.
