對于即將逝去的5月——很不幸——人們稱它為“黑五月”。5月16，人民大學一博士研究生跳樓自殺，當場身亡。在此之前的數十天內，全國高校已相繼發生了10多起學生自殺事件。專家認為，學業、工作和經濟等沉重壓力是學生5月高自殺率的癥結所在。此外，自殺者多數患有抑郁癥等心理病史。也有專家指出，媒體在報道高校自殺事件時有負面炒作的嫌疑，高校自殺率并沒達到個別媒體報道的高度。

University authorities are aware of the pressure facing students and offer help through events, such as the Students' Psychological Health Festival pictured here at Beijing Normal University.

A bouquet of white flowers resting at the foot of a dormitory building in the Renmin University of China carries the grief of students mourning the precious life of one of their dear friends.

At noon, on May 16, a young woman committed suicide by jumping off the 11th floor of the building. So far, university authorities have not revealed her identity. Local media believe she was a doctorate student from the literature school preparing her graduation thesis.

While some doctorate students have shown sympathy, the response of many students has been stony silence. The apparent numbness could be a result of a spate of college student suicides, which have occured this month.

Hu Deng, director of the Psychological Counselling Center of Renmin University of China, admits he is nervous these days because May seems to be a dark month for suicide-seekers on the campus.

Between March and May, college students come under the biggest pressure because they must hunt for jobs, wait for the results of the entrance examination to postgraduate or doctorate schools. And they also must prepare their thesis.

Lacking the ability to cope with this adverse situation is a common problem and the examination-oriented education system has largely neglected students' mental health, he says.

Hu and his colleagues have probed into several suicide cases in recent years. They found that a big proportion of the students had a medical history of psychological problems, such as depression.

"Rather than seeking help from us, the students with psychological problems tend to hide it for fear of affecting the future of their studies and employment," he said.

Economic strain is another factor contributing to anxiety.  Zhao Jie, a first-grade doctorate student, needs to pay 12,000 yuan ($1,560) of tuition fee each year besides expenses on food and accommodation. Like Zhao , most doctorate students depend on family support, their own savings and income from part-time jobs to pull them through the three years.

Zhao describes the everyday life of a doctorate student as "dry and dull". He has to bury himself in books all day to complete the required number of thesises published in national-level academic journals. Communication between students even in the same class is scarce, he says.

Zhang Yanping is deputy director of Beijing Suicide Prevention and Research Center, which is affiliated to Beijing Huilongguan Hospital. Zhang is unsure if the spate of student suicides in May reflects a pattern or is just coincidental. But she notes that one suicide could possibly influence another.

She classifies recent suicidal students into two groups. The first group, which represents about 63 percent of suicide cases, haspsychological disorders, such as depression. For people with a history of mental illness, she suggests psychological counselling and the necessary drug treatment.

The second group feels hopeless and is isolated at the time of suicide because of excessive emotional stress caused by employment expectations, examinations and their looming thesis.

For this group of students, suicide intervention is even more difficult, Zhang said.

The major issues include depression, academic pressure, romantic rejection, family conflicts, economical difficulties and frustration because of the gap between the job market and high expectations.

As a professional psychologist, Zhang has observed in recent years that college authorities have been paying more attention to the mental health of students.

However, experts point out the media has conveyed misleading information that the campus suicide rate was significantly high.

Zhang estimates the suicide rate among college students is only six people per 100,000, which is much lower than 23 per 100,000 among the whole population and more than 30 per 100,000 among people between the ages of 15 and 34.

Zhang believes that improving the mental health among students is a life-long project.

"The starting point of cultivating mental health is definitely not the college campus, but from early childhood," she said.
