Focusing on the PHQ 9 score, Hajduk et al. [74] identified 35.5% of Slovak students with depression. Our findings showed that 10.64%, 5.45%, and 2.76% of Slovak students suffered from moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression, which can be compared with Chinese students who reported moderate to severe depressive symptoms with a prevalence of approximately 11% [111].
