The purpose of this research was to identify a possible relationship between the consumption of psychoactive substances and depression in a group of lower secondary education adolescents at a state educational institution in the municipality of Aracataca, Magdalena, Colombia. The methodology employed was quantitative, through a descriptive-correlational study. The sample consisted of 106 intentionally selected students, comprising 57 girls and 51 boys. The age range was 13 to 17 years, belonging to socioeconomic stratum 1, and they were in the 9th grade. The CDS questionnaire was applied to assess the presence of depression, and the abbreviated DUSI-R to determine the consumption of psychoactive substances. The research revealed a significant correlation between the consumption of psychoactive substances and the presence of depressive symptoms in adolescents, a finding that illuminates the complexity of the factors influencing mental health in this population. This discovery underscores the importance of adopting a holistic approach in the care of adolescents, addressing both substance use and mental health problems comprehensively. The interrelationship between these two factors suggests that they can mutually influence each other, highlighting the need for interventions that address both aspects simultaneously and in coordination. By adopting a comprehensive and proactive approach—including prevention and treatment—it is possible to promote the overall well-being of adolescents and reduce the negative impact of these factors on their development and quality of life.
