Özet

Problem Statement: In recent years, the number of university students diagnosed, treated, and given medication for depression has increased. It can be stated that depression is a serious emotional problem for university students because it affects younger and older adults directly and profoundly. It leads to loss of interest and pleasure in ordinary activities, great sadness, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, loss of appetite and sleep, etc. Thus depression decreases the quality of an individual's life.
