This study aims to analyze the impact of sugary drink consumption and socioeconomic factors on mental health symptoms in Indonesia. Mental health is a crucial aspect of individual well-being, closely linked to a person's ability to manage stress, function productively, and contribute positively to themselves and their surroundings. This study highlights two main factors that can affect mental health: sugary drink consumption and socioeconomic factors. The methodology used in this research is a quantitative analysis using secondary data from IFLS 5, which includes indicators of mental health, consumption patterns, and the socioeconomic status of respondents. The results show that sugary drink consumption has a significant positive impact on the probability of depression symptoms. Meanwhile, socioeconomic variables such as education level, marital status, and wealth also influence the probability of depression symptoms.
