Frequency of EDS is detected at higher point on female students than males (p=0.004) and is detected at higher point on suspicion of depression diagnosed than not diagnosed people (p=0.002). On lineer regression model that determines connection between gained points from ESS and BDS, a correlation was detected on positive direction and medium level after some changes according to gender (p<0.001).
