“…Generally, the word depression connotes a state of not being happy about a particular situation and by this meaning; depression is a bit deceptive as someone undergoing depression may not verbally express it (Macneil et al 2022;Hilal et al 2023;Venborg, Osler, and Sara 2023). Depression is one of the leading causes of suicide which should not be taken for granted; timely intervention could avert all unpleasant effect of depression (Belli et al 2023;Zhang et al 2023). Prior to 21st century, the issue of depression was majorly found among the adults.…”

Depression is one of the most common life-threatening disorders among adolescents. Nowadays, cases of suicidal thoughts and attempts have become rampant among adolescents as a result of depression and some underlying factors. It is on this premise that this study examined some predatory factors on depression among adolescents. There are several predicting factors but this study dwelled on three such factors which are academic performance, family, and peer pressure. A Correlation research design was adopted for the study. The study population includes lecturers of six selected private universities in the Osun state of Nigeria and was randomly selected. The six selected universities were located in different geographical areas of the state. The instrument used for data collection was self-developed and has a reliability coefficient of 0.82. Four null hypotheses were formulated and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The hypotheses were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The result of the study shows that a significant relationship exists between the independent variables (academic performance, family, and peer pressure-related factors) and the dependent variable (depression symptoms). Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended among others that all tertiary institutions should have functioning counseling centers that are well equipped with professional counseling psychologists who could assist students through guidance services to enhance their academic performances as well handle peer pressures.

BackgroundSexual dreams represent a largely underexplored domain of human experience, particularly concerning their prevalence, frequency, and potential relationship with mental health conditions. Understanding this interplay may provide insights into the psychological and physiological effects of dream content.AimsTo investigate the prevalence, frequency, and impact of sexual dreams among individuals with and without mental health diagnoses and to evaluate the associations between sexual dream frequency, post‐dream symptoms, and mental health status.Materials & MethodsThe SLEEP Study surveyed 301 female‐identifying adults in the United States using an online questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed the frequency and content of sexual dreams, as well as post‐dream symptoms such as anxiety, increased heart rate, and muscle tension. Logistic regression and Pearson correlation analyses were conducted to examine relationships between sexual dream frequency, mental health diagnoses, and post‐dream symptoms.Results99.67% of participants reported experiencing sexual dreams, with 45.2% identifying them as frequent. A significant association was observed between frequent sexual dreams and mental health diagnoses (OR = 1.83, p = 0.018). While post‐dream symptoms such as anxiety and physical tension were common, their correlations with mental health treatment were weak and not statistically significant (p = 0.061).DiscussionThe findings suggest that frequent sexual dreams may serve as a psychological stress indicator, particularly in individuals with mental health conditions. However, the weak correlation between post‐dream symptoms and mental health treatment highlights the need for further investigation into the mechanisms underlying these associations.ConclusionFrequent sexual dreams could provide valuable insights into psychological stress and mental health. Incorporating dream patterns into mental health assessments may enhance clinical understanding and interventions. Further research involving diverse populations and experimental methodologies is required to these relationships and their broader implications.
