The Effects of Mother's Education on College Student's Depression Level: The Role of Family Function

Depression is one of the most common mental disorders among social groups of different ages. In recent years, the rates of increase in the diagnosis of major depression were rapid among the youngest and oldest age groups, the lowest income and highest income groups, and those with the highest education levels (Weinberger et al., 2017). Depression has been identified as a major risk factor that leads to serious individual and societal consequences (Holden, 2000). A growing number of children and adolescents experiencing significant increases in the prevalence of depression brought great attention to this public health issue (Thapar et al., 2012).
