Based on the above-mentioned facts, it can be stated that the issue of mental and behavioural disorders is a much-discussed topic in the professional and scientific community. International research teams and their findings emphasize the need to address these health problems in students, especially with regard to stress, depression, and alcohol consumption. Otherwise, the socio-economic consequences in the future will be borne not only by individuals, but also by society as a whole. This was the greatest motivation to carry out the presented research in the Slovak Republic, where this issue is still insufficiently examined. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic underlines the importance of addressing mental health issues.
