In our time, we witness many conflicts and psychological disorders, and when society achieves peace and happiness for its children, it almost always guarantees them a great deal of optimism, and their depression rate decreases, and the social and economic changes that follow wars or unusual events such as natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes and famine A major role in the spread of symptoms of depression, feelings of sadness and a melancholic outlook towards life.. Perhaps the danger and importance of this variable is clearly evident when we know that many psychological disorders begin their first indicators when the individual begins to feel pessimism and melancholy and anticipates deep sadness and may have suicidal thoughts. The incidence of the disease varies in different countries, where cultural aspects, the pattern of social relations, and the religious trend play an important role in determining the rate of spread of the disease from them. It leads to depression. The current research aimed to measure depression among the parameters according to some variables to find out the difference between them, which required the adoption of an appropriate research tool, the Beck Depression List.

After analyzing the data and using statistical methods, the research reached a set of results, including:

 * There are statistically significant differences according to the levels of social status. In light of the findings, the researcher put forward a set of recommendations:
