Abstract: We present a study that allows visibilization of the mental health importance in young university students, associating their own evolutionary conflicts as risk and/or protection factors in the manifestation of depressive, anxious or stress episodes. Methods: a questionnaire is applied to 533 students at a state university. Results and Conclusions: Their main results present significant percentages for adaptive disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders and potential suicidal behaviour. In addition, it should be noted that a high percentage of the population consulted presents clinical alterations linked to anxiety and depression.
