Michael Kerr of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in U.K. (2012) has found that in addition to the risk of dropping out, or an increase in suicidal ideation, depressed students are at a greater risk of developing problems such as substance abuse and in fact, more than two-thirds of young people with substance abuse issues also suffer from a diagnosable mental illness such as depression. This research is conducted to determine the contributing factors of depression and involved 215 students from Medical Laboratory Sciences, Physical Therapy, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Nursing, Nutrition and Dietetics and Pharmacy. The Patient Health Questionnaire - 9, a questionnaire developed by Pfizer to that determines the presence of depression in a given population and its severity, identified 124 depressed students and 91 students that are not depressed. Prevalence of depression are higher in Females (147) than in Males, and highest in Radiologic Technology, and lowest in Pharmacy
