Depression is one of the key topics in today's research, and researchers have demonstrated the effect of adult feelings of time pressure on depression, however, there is a research gap in the area of adolescents. Therefore, the research topic of this paper is the relationship between various leisure time and depression among secondary school students. The research methodology of this paper is as follows, firstly the time spent by each person under different leisure activities, and the level of depression of each person were collected. The descriptive, correlation and regression statistics were performed. It was found that the time spent watching television on rest days significantly reduced the level of depression among secondary school students. This study suggests that to reduce the middle school students depression level, the students should decrease the time on playing video games at working days and the time on conversation at rest days. The students should increase the time on television on both working days and rest days.
