In this thesis study, the relationship between worrying about the current economic situation, future anxiety, anxiety and depression of university students living in metropolitan cities was evaluated. The research consists of university students between the ages of 18-30. The number of participants is 390. Data were collected using the snowball method. Independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA and correlation were used in the analysis of the data. According to the results of the analysis, there is a positive and significant relationship between anxiety, depression and future anxiety. The strongest significance is between anxiety and depression scores. The anxiety scores and depression scores of the participants were moderate level. It was determined that women compared to men, those who study at a state university than those who study at a private university, undergraduate students compared to graduate students, those who do not have a job compared to those who work, those who live in dormitories compared to those who live at home, and those who use psychiatric drugs before are more anxious, depressed and more anxious about the future than those who do not use them. Participants mostly stated that they were not satisfied with the economy at all, they were very worried about the current economic situation, they were generally worried about the economic situation, and they were greatly affected by the current economic situation financially and/or mentally. Participants who worried a lot were found to be more anxious, depressed, and anxious about the future than participants who reported less anxiety. Participants who were always worried were generally found to be more anxious, depressed, and anxious about the future than those who were worried. Students who are not at all satisfied with the economy; are more future anxious and depressed than those who are dissatisfied and indecisive-satisfied. However, no significant difference was found between economic satisfaction and anxiety scores. It has been suggested to increase economic support for university students.
