The data of the study was collected in February 2016. The study consists of 50 university students. Participants were
selected using convenience sampling method. The research’s survey questionnaire was administered by face to face
interviews. Questionnaire includes socio-demographic information form, Beck Depression Inventory and Life
Satisfaction Scale. Descriptive statistical methods (mean, standard deviation), the one-way ANOVA and t-test
analysis was used for comparisons of qualitative data. Study shows no significant relationship between depression
and demographic variables. Only academic performance and life satisfaction’s relationship was found as statistically
meaningful as many other studies found the same parallel results. Depression is a growing problem throughout the
world. Despite it is very common, most people do not perceive and accept depression as an illness. Non-treated
depression can reach to severe levels and severe level of depression may lead to suicidal attempts. The importance
of depression should be underlined because of its harmful consequences.
