      Objective To investigate the mental health condition of college students during the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) , and to provide accurate basis for their psychological intervention.Methods Through the way of electronic questionnaire, questionnaire star as tools, random investigation of college students in a university in Sichuan. Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Somatization Symptom Scale (SSS) were used to evaluate their anxiety, depression and somatization symptoms. At the same time, a self-made questionnaire was used to investigate their styles of help seeking, and the relationships between them.Results A total of 551 valid questionnaires were collected, including 4.90% of anxiety symptoms, 28.68% of depression and 17.97% of somatization symptoms. In terms of somatization, the detection rate was higher in urban college students than those in rural (23.35% vs. 13.27%, P<0.05), non-medical students was higher than medical students (21.40% vs. 13.89%, P<0.05). Women's SSS score was higher than men's [(26.51 ± 5.44) vs. (25.27 ± 5.78)], urban college students' SSS score were higher than rural [(26.69 ± 5.98) vs. (25.38 ± 5.12)], and non-medical students’ SSS score were higher than medical students [(26.65 ± 5.59) vs. (25.21 ± 5.45)], and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Partial correlation analysis showed that SSS score was positively correlated with SAS score (r=0.110, P=0.010) and negatively correlated with SDS score (r=-0.087, P=0.042). The top three common ways of help-seeking pattern among college students were self-regulation (81.85%), talking to family or friends (70.78%) and offline psychological counseling (28.31%).Conclusion Under the COVID-19 epidemic, the detection rate of depressive symptoms and somatization symptoms of college students is high. The detection rate of somatization symptoms of female, urban and non-medical college students is high. Self-regulation and talking to family or friends are the main psychological styles of help seeking for college students.
