Background: In Ethiopia, mental illness in particular depression is the leading non-communicable disorder in terms of burden. The purpose of this review is to provide latest available comparison of depression among married and divorced people in Ethiopia. Methods: This is systemic review and meta-analysis by study design. The studies were searched in Google Scholar, Medline and Web of science database and PRISMA guidelines protocol was used to write the systematic review.
Results: Twenty studies were found to be eligible and included in the meta-analysis. The combined effect size of all studies revealeda statistically significant association between marital status and depression (OR = 0.57; 95% CI: 0.37 - 0.86).
Conclusions: We found that divorced people were more likely to have depression than married people. Thus, more attention should be paid to strengthen activities which discourage divorce at community level and integrating mental health counseling into health extension programme is advisable.

This paper explores into the empirical literature related to the factors affecting clinical depression and on the impact of clinical depression on academic performance among undergraduates. Hereby a series of past empirical studies in the fields of depression and academic performance have been examined and their findings have been summarized. There is a dearth of empirical literature pertaining to these fields currently and more studies are required to strengthen the existing body of knowledge. This paper mainly aims to summarize the widely spread empirical literature on these two domains into a single summary to facilitate future researchers undertaking research in exploring factors affecting clinical depression and its effects on academic achievement among undergraduates. The prevailing literature summarized here highlights that physical exercises, excessive internet use, recent life changing crisis, domestic violence, substance abuse, family and personal history of depression, study year, academic demands, living conditions, parental expectations, financial difficulties and unemployment can lead towards clinical depression and it can adversely affect towards the academic performance among undergraduates.

Depression is a pervasive mental health disorder affecting millions
of individuals worldwide, often leading to profound emotional and physical
distress. While traditional treatments, such as psychotherapy and
pharmacotherapy, have provided relief for many, a significant portion of
patients remain resistant to these interventions. In response to this challenge,
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has emerged as a revolutionary
non-invasive treatment option, offering new hope for those who struggle
with treatment-resistant depression

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has gained recognition as a
powerful, non-pharmaceutical approach to managing anxiety and depression.
In a time when mental health issues are increasingly prevalent, many
individuals seek effective treatment options that do not involve medication
due to concerns about side effects, dependency, or personal preference. CBT
offers a compelling alternative by addressing the underlying thought patterns
that contribute to these conditions. Through a structured and evidence-based
methodology, CBT empowers individuals to identify, challenge, and change
negative thinking, leading to lasting improvements in emotional well-being
[1]. This article explores how CBT can help manage anxiety and depression
without the need for medication, highlighting its techniques, benefits, and
overall effectiveness.

As our understanding of the brain continues to evolve, innovative
therapies are emerging that challenge traditional approaches to mental health
and cognitive enhancement. One such breakthrough is Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive technique that harnesses magnetic fields
to stimulate specific areas of the brain.

In an era where mental health awareness is on the rise, innovative
therapies are emerging to address the complex challenges posed by disorders
such as anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Among these
groundbreaking treatments is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a
non-invasive technique that utilizes magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas
of the brain. Initially recognized for its effectiveness in treating depression,
TMS is now gaining traction as a promising intervention for anxiety and PTSD,
conditions that affect millions of individuals globally. This article explores how
TMS is changing the landscape of mental health treatment, offering new hope
and possibilities for those grappling with these debilitating disorders [

Irritability is often overlooked in discussions about mental health, yet it
can be a significant indicator of underlying emotional distress, particularly in
the context of depression and anxiety. While many people associate these
conditions with symptoms like sadness, hopelessness, or panic, irritability can
manifest as a pervasive sense of agitation or frustration that impacts daily
functioning and relationships.
