College mental health screenings going high-tech

CHICAGO — Look around a wait­ing room at a uni­ver­sity coun­sel­ing cen­ter and you’ll see stu­dents wrestling with all sorts of issues: The one who’s fail­ing because of binge drink­ing. Another who’s strug­gling with a room­mate con­flict, or a recent break-up. Yet another who’s stressed out and sui­ci­dal. Many cen­ters are more swamped than ever, col­lege ther­a­pists say, par­tic­u­larly at this time of year, in the frenzy of final exams and job searches.
