19. Mental Health Leaves of Absence in College and Therapy: A Qualitative Study of Student Experiences

Author

Story, Anne E., Carpenter-Song, Elizabeth A., Acquilano, Stephanie C., Becker, Deborah R., and Drake, Robert E.

Abstract

Mental health leaves of absence have increased among college students, but little is known about their experiences. We explored the role of psychotherapy among college students before, during, and after a mental health leave, using thematic analysis of semistructured interviews with 11 students who returned successfully to college after a mental health leave. College students who took a mental health leave typically sought therapy too late to prevent the leave, but benefitted from therapy while they were on leave and when they returned to college. Key outcomes of therapy included understanding the process that led to leaves, developing a plan and better coping skills for return, learning to avoid or manage symptoms, and growing closer to families and other supports. Proactive policies might prevent mental health leaves, but would require a new level of attention. Psychotherapy during and after the leave can lead to successful returns to college.

Abstract

Individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a chronic and disabling psychiatric disorder, experience high rates of occupational impairment. OCD symptoms commonly affect individuals' vocational aspirations and result in disability and the need for financial support, problems that are not addressed by current clinical practice guideline recommendations for treating OCD. This Open Forum highlights the need to address occupational impairment caused by OCD and makes the case for formally evaluating whether evidence-based supported employment can help individuals with OCD find and succeed in meaningful work.
