Anxiety

UA cared about its image. A lot.

When their first years got attacked at the USJ, they had to do damage control.

When one of their top students got kidnapped, they had to do damage control.

Every time a mild inconvenience happened that made the media even look in the direction of UA, they had to do damage control.

Damage control.

Damage control.

Damage control.

They were always so caught up in their public image, that it was sometimes far too easy to forget that they weren't just a public entity, but above all, a learning institution.

So when UA had successfully begun looking neutral in the media, realizing that their efforts weren't for not, they took a breather and shifted their priority to the students.

And boy, they should have done it a lot sooner.

Students who were directly involved in the first-year villain encounters were advised to take up UA's free counseling services, but at the end of the day it was optional, and at the time the first years wanted to focus on their sports festival preparations.

And after the summer camp incident, students involved were, once again, advised to take up counseling with little to no enforcement from the staff.

When situations happened, they were always told to go to the school guidance counselor, Hound Dog, but the councilor himself said that the students that did show up rarely scheduled follow up appointments, and many students decided to get therapy and counseling from outside sources, so they could focus more class time on their studies.

While dealing with traumatic events was a part of the job, the heroics students clearly were carrying more of an emotional burden than their school should have allowed.

And it's not just their heroics students. From general studies students to the reclusive business course students, everyone seemed to be on edge. While no one was directly saying it, it was clear everyone was terrified of another attack.

So UA decided to change up their methods.

They started implementing monthly psyche evaluations for their heroics students as well as evaluations for all other students every three months. They created quiet places for students to study and relax as well as allowing students to take mental health days, granted they had proof they saw hound dog on their days off.

And it was clear that what they were doing was working.

Student's grades began going up, Hound Dog had a hand full of new cases that were all being handled healthily, and the overall unspoken tension seemed to slowly dissipate from the area.

However, with all the new methods implemented, it began becoming glaringly obvious that some students had underlying issues that couldn't be resolved by just talking it out.

Issues mainly dealing with anxiety.

Now, many students were anxious, with the school they were at it was a given. But now with the ability to take a break every once in a while, coupled with the new feeling of security the school had begun gathering, it became clear that some student's anxieties went deeper than just school troubles.

This became clear with a handful of students, mainly Izuku Midoriya.

During their evaluations, they showed anxious tendencies as well as very obsessive personality traits. They were advised to get an anxiety screening from Hound Dog at a date different than their evaluations, but most students just ignored their follow up appointments, deciding to focus more on school.
