Abstract

Introduction: In the world, the most common mental disorders with the greatest academic influence on students are depression and anxiety. These disorders constitute an important problem, since the psychological discomfort of the individual is added to the impossibility of obtaining satisfactory academic performance, since cognitive functions such as attention and memory are affected.

Methods: observational, descriptive cross-sectional study with a population of 119, selecting a stratified probabilistic sample of 92 students in the Second Semester of the Dentistry career in the period October 2022-March 2023, the following variables were used in the study: age, sex, place of residence, academic performance and economic resources. Results: Of the total of 92 students surveyed, 33.7% of respondents do not present signs of disorders, on the other hand, 66.3% do present visible signs of emotional disorders. Conclusions: The research concludes that the sex and academic performance of the students does not influence the suffering of emotional disorders
