| description | Depression has been portrayed as the evil of the century, becoming a public health problem that has affected millions of people worldwide. This study aimed to understand how adolescents represent depression. One hundred and sixty-eight high school students aged 14 to 18 years participated, from public and private schools in João Pessoa-Paraíba, Brazil. We used the Free Association of Words Technique (TALP), a sociodemographic questionnaire, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The social representation of depression anchored in subjective experiences was observed, emphasizing the individual aspects of this phenomenon, such as sadness, loneliness, anguish, suffering and suicide. The adolescents presented depressive symptoms in 21.4 % of the cases, and these percentages are higher when compared to other studies in the area. It is hoped that this study can promote preventive actions in the school context and reflect on ways to raise awareness of depression as a disorder with multiple causes. |

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender cómo los adolescentes representan la depresión. Participaron 168 estudiantes de secundaria, de 14 a 18 años, de escuelas públicas y privadas en João Pessoa-Paraíba, Brasil. Se utilizó la técnica de asociación de palabras libres (TALP), Cuestionario sociodemográfico y la Escala de ansiedad y depresión hospitalaria (HADS). Se observó la representación social de la depresión anclada en experiencias subjetivas que enfatizan los aspectos individuales de este fenómeno como la tristeza, la soledad, la angustia, el sufrimiento y el suicidio. Los adolescentes presentaron síntomas depresivos en 21.4 %, estos porcentajes se acentuaron en comparación con otros estudios en el área. Se espera que este estudio pueda promover acciones preventivas en el contexto escolar y reflexiones sobre formas de crear conciencia sobre la depresión como un trastorno de múltiples causas.A depressão tem sido retratada como o mal do século, tornando-se um problema de saúde pública que tem afetado milhões de pessoas no mundo.
