Psychiatry for College Students in Middletown, NJ

College life brings exciting opportunities for growth. At the same time, it also comes with challenges that can take a toll on mental health. At Coastal Psychiatry, we understand the pressures facing today’s students and offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to the unique needs of young adults in Middletown, New Jersey, and surrounding communities.

The Pressures College Students Face

Balancing academic performance, social dynamics, independence, and future planning can create overwhelming stress for students. Many face anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, or mood swings for the first time, while others struggle with sleep disturbances, substance use, or eating disorders. Being away from home and support systems can make it even harder to cope.

These challenges can affect performance, relationships, and overall well-being. But students don’t have to face them alone.
