In the article “Cash flow not debt Causes student stress, scientists told“ by Ed Ewing and Rachel Jasper on April 4, 2005, the authors say that the university student, suffer many mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety because of loans. They authors say that according to a survey of Doctor Scott from the University of Bath, when he questioned a group of students about their debt, he found that the money owed was not exactly the cause of these mental illnesses. Doctor Scott added “Often the amount of money students can borrow is not enough for their daily needs, and the resulting financial difficulties may lead to depression, anxiety and stress“ . In the end of Doctor Scott’s study, he provided some answers to students in order to solve this problem such as teaching the students how to cope with their own money before attending school; he said, “The key is to get people involved in handling money at an early age”. Also he asked the school to offer early support for the student in to help them with their financial issues. Finally, he recommended that students to create two bank account so they can save up some money for themselves.
