DEPRE$$ION

            Steiner's thesis is that CAPS doesn't have enough money to take care of all the college students with depression. Steiner believes CAPS is not funded enough to take care of the students timely, and in that “time” something can happen. Steiner first tells us how depression is really common amongst us college students. Then she goes on the saying that seeking counseling is the best. However that is really hard to do because of the lack of funding that goes into CAPS. Steiner says that lots of students cannot get very good appointment times, and says during that period of time anything can happen, and it can be crucial.  

           
            I like the first half of Steiner’s essay, where she starts to talk about depression amongst college student. How it can affect anyone, even to the least unexpected. She describes the symptom of depressions and the scary outcomes of it. However I do not like her endings of the essay. I think Steiner should’ve just kept on talking about the students instead of “help centers” that need more money to help them. This made the essay’s main idea/thesis about the help centers that need the funding to help the college students. I think that Steiner should’ve just talked about many ways to help with depression. She touched on it a little towards the end, but it was too little. Steiner’s essay should’ve focused on how to fix these problems with depression rather than talk about the help centers needing help.
