As mentioned in the previous section, mental disorders need to be taken with some seriousness. Mental and behavioural disorders are destructive to the individual who suffers from them, but also to society as a whole. The present is defined by globalization, internationalization, or other pressures stemming from development, which may be reflected in certain negatives that cause stress in economic and social life. In this context, stress is a predictor of serious mental disorders, one of which is depression, and it is not uncommon for depressed people to reach for alcohol. The destructive effects of alcohol on the population and the economy are undeniable; and therefore, research into this issue in different conditions and from different perspectives is very beneficial. Accordingly, the main objective of the presented study was to examine the effects of perceived stress on depression and subsequently to examine the effects of depression on alcohol use disorders. The classification of gender and income characteristics was selected for the study.
