Abstract

The paper examined the research question: To what extent does the South Korean education system contribute to Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) amongst South Korean adolescents?

Examination of the extent at which the education system of South Korea contributes towards the development of the Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) among the adolescents was evaluated while using published research, as well as an understanding of cultural traditions. Researchers that include Lee & Larson (2000) and Ang & Huan (2006) conducted studies, which concluded that the education system in Korea affects the development of stress and depression disorders among the adolescents.

The school environment has been found to be a major source of adolescent depression. As such, the socioeconomic standing of a school affects the emotional well-being of students. In contrast, students may develop stress related to the inability to study and weak skills in the management of time. Thus, the adolescents'personal traits make them in capable of delivering good academic performance as expected. Consequently, they end up being stressed and eventually developing the MDD. In addition, study by Rudolph (2002) indicatesthat adolescents can develop stress as they pass through the stage of adolescence. This stress may cause MDD development.

In conclusion, the paper does not conclusively answer the question of the extent to which academic system contributes to the development of MDD among the adolescents in Korea. Nevertheless, the paper brings into right the education system factors, which influence the development of the disorder among the adolescents.
