(2022) Godoy Ortiz, Juan David; Mantilla Riascos, Leisy Paola; Marquínez Grueso, Karen Johana; Bedoya Sandoval, Juan Fernando (Director)
A quantitative study conducted with 130 high school students (aged 16 to 18) at the Institución Educativa Ciudadela Mixta Colombia in Tumaco, Nariño, sought to identify the risk of mental disorders among young people. The research revealed that 35% of the students have had suicidal thoughts. The study highlights several risk factors contributing to this situation, such as extreme poverty, domestic violence, history of mental disorders, substance abuse, the presence of armed groups, exposure to suicidal behavior in others, impulsive behavior, and recent losses. It is concluded that it is fundamental to address these psychological and behavioral disorders, always considering the individual characteristics and circumstances of each person.
