TL;DR
Clinical severity alone does not ensure treatment; proactive, profession-sensitive strategies are needed.
Abstract
Background
Nursing students report high rates of psychological distress, but how their use of mental health treatment varies with symptom severity is unclear.
Purpose
To describe mental health symptom prevalence and treatment use among nursing students and examine the association between clinical severity and help-seeking.
Methods
Secondary analysis of 2024 to 2025 Healthy Minds Study data from nursing students (N = 5817). Depression and anxiety were measured with the PHQ-9 and GAD-7; suicidality and past-year therapy were self-reported. χ2 tests and odds ratios assessed associations.
Results
Overall, 64.4% screened positive for ≥1 mental health problem, but only 33.3% reported past-year therapy. Help-seeking rose with severity (odds ratio, 1.76 for major depression to 2.87 for suicide attempt; all P < .001), yet more than 40% reporting a suicide attempt received no care.
Conclusions
Clinical severity alone does not ensure treatment; proactive, profession-sensitive strategies are needed.

It is suggested that severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms among resident physicians are closely related to modifiable occupational and environmental factors and targeted interventions to improve these conditions are essential to support the mental well-being of physicians in training.
