<p>Through the Department of Education, we know that the Higher Education Statistics
Agency reported that, in 2017/18, 24,815 UK resident entrants to higher education
settings disclosed a diagnosed mental health condition such as anxiety. Robust data
is not available to determine how much of this increase is down to increased disclosure
resulting from reduced stigma, and how much is due to increased prevalence.</p><p>Any
disclosure of diagnosed mental health conditions by higher education students to their
institution is voluntary. The actual number of university students with diagnosed
mental health conditions is therefore unknown.</p>
