Obtaining that 13.45% (n=23) presented severe depression, 15.79% (n=27) moderate depression and 38.69% (n=66) mild depression, taking into account that the results obtained do not indicate in a totally reliable way this incidence since it depends a lot on the moment the survey was carried out, the sample used for the research, how the student was emotionally, the confinement and other factors to be considered. When analyzing the variables, it was found that the relationship cited by some authors in relation to the incidence of depression between male and female genders is 2:1 in the adolescent stages.
