Abstract: Given that depressed patients improve their condition only when they understand what is happening to them, we consider it imperative to convince certain students through psycho-education, as specialist academics, that they need to identify their affective states, mood disorders disposition and accept that they may sometimes have an illness that can be cured by avoiding certain things and relying on certain resources. On their road to recovery, students who go through such periods need psychological support and encouragement to regain the hope, joy and pleasure that was stolen from them with the stress of entering a new cycle of education, the academic. Awareness of the causes and psychological effects of depression and taking control of depressive states through voluntary effort by actors in the university environment, as well as a campaign to prevent and combat its presence among students, will determine that depression is no longer considered a stigma. Blame and responsibility lie equally with those teachers or counselors who might identify the symptoms but ignore the seriousness of the problem and cause the illness to go undiagnosed and treated, easily mistaking it for just a feeling of sadness or melancholy. The study was conducted using a questionnaire covering 20 questions with a simple complement on a sample of 110 students. We believe that the results obtained from this study will contribute significantly to the awareness of the importance of the phenomenon.
