Abstract

The article focuses on a study examining the mental health of Muslim American college students, specifically the relationships between immigrant generation, perceived discrimination, and identity in relation to anxiety and depression symptoms. Conducted with a sample of 157 students, the research found that second-generation Muslim Americans reported higher levels of perceived discrimination, which correlated with increased psychological symptoms compared to first- and third-generation immigrants. The study highlights the need for clinical interventions and advocacy to address the discrimination faced by this demographic. The research was conducted by Loyola University and has been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]
