Depression, anxiety and eating disorders are psychosomatic diseases and mental disorders that are closely related to each other. According to research by the World Health Organization, 320 million people worldwide suffer from depressive disorders, 260 million suffer from anxiety disorders, and 5% of the world's population suffer from eating disorders, the most common of which are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa most often begin to develop in adolescents and women, but they can occur at any age and in both sexes. The transition from high school to college can be quite a stressful time for individuals, because, among other things, the period of early adolescence is very sensitive to the onset of mental disorders, where research has shown that almost 40% of adolescents experience their first episode of depression before the age of 20. In this master's thesis, we studied the incidence of depression, anxiety and eating disorders among the student population, where we used the Beck depression scale, the Beck anxiety list and DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress scale test) and the eating disorders questionnaire EDI-3 RF (Eating Disorder Inventory, 3 Referral form). The sample consisted of 143 students of both sexes. We checked the hypotheses regarding the intensity of the occurrence of depression, anxiety and eating disorders in students (separated by gender), the intensity of the occurrence of all three disorders in students who are in competitive sports and those who are not, the intensity of the occurrence of all three disorders in three different faculties - Faculty of Sports, the Faculty of Philosophy and the Academy of Music and whether there are differences in the intensity of the occurrence according to the amount of physical activity among students. Statistically significant associations were found between the intensity of the occurrence of anxiety and depression between genders, faculties and competitors and non-competitors, and the intensity of the occurrence of all three disorders in relation to physical activity.
