Data were analyzed by SPSS 16 software using ANOVA, chi-square, t-test, Pearson  and Spearman correlation test.

Results: There was a significant relationship between depression, interest to study extension and  economical problems (p=0.001). Also, there was a significant relationship between fatigue, gender (p<0.000),  study extention  and economical problems (p=0.007), interest to study extention (p< 0.000) and physical diseases (p=0.008) and depression according to pearson correlation test. (p=0.000, r=0.581).
