Depression is the widespread disease across the world and major factor in problems of mental health as stated in the literature. This can be prevented if symptoms are addressed early. Treatment is effective and available but due to an unnecessary shame surrounding these issues, depression is not discussed and many students suffer in silence. The objective of the study is to find out whether these college students experienced depressive symptoms and to know the causes associated with these symptoms, which will lay the foundation in understanding the issues of students at risk for major depression.
