Investigation of the Relationship Between Students’ Depression Levels and Their Academic Performance

In the given article, both theoretically and practically, the existence of any relationship between students' levels of depression and their academic performance is examined. It was shown that there is no consistent correlation between the indicators of depression in students and their academic performance. An experimental investigation is conducted to clarify the issue with consideration of gender and economic status in academic performance. Results indicate that there is no significant relationship between GPA and depression level. Descriptive analyses suggest that there might be gender differences in academic performances, as females tend to have higher GPAs than males. Moreover, subjects with better economic statuses tend to present higher GPAs, while those with financial difficulties demonstrate higher levels of depression. These suggest that factors like gender and economic status may influence not only academic performances but also mental health; however, more studies should be conducted to confirm such trends.
