Mental health is an issue of utmost importance globally, and its relevance is particularly notable in the context of the health and well-being of young people. This is not limited to the mere absence of illness, but involves the ability to deal with the stresses of daily life effectively, allowing people to function productively and fully develop their capabilities for the benefit of their communities. In this context, the purpose of this work is to provide an overview of the current mental health of the young adult population in Colombia. To carry out this review, a search was carried out in the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases. The Rayyan platform was used for review management.

The results highlight the persistent problem of this condition among university students, underscoring the need for effective policies and programs to address these challenges. In conclusion, this work emphasizes the importance of addressing the mental health of Colombian young adults
