Cultural Context:

• Mental health is a big topic of conversation among college campuses right now, as students deal with the stress of higher education among other negative feelings like anxiety and insecurity
• Bonnie Holbrook runs the Center for Professional Development (CPD) at Dartmouth College, which sends out a very large number of emails to students. The volume of emails seems intrusive and unwanted, much like the thoughts that accompany depression and anxiety.
