This study analyzes the different factors that influence depression in college students. For this objective, a systematic review was carried out in important databases, selecting 17 scientific articles out of 127 published between 2019 and 2020. The main factors are situational, which includes heavy work and low academic performance; sociodemographic factors such as age, sex, origin, year of studies, type of work activity, family group; the quality of sleep; terrible physical condition; and, poor diet. On the other hand, there are also psychotic or neurotic factors such as dysfunctionality or problems of family cohesion; psychological problems; negative mental state and sense of life; problems of spirituality in the personality; as well as problems in love relationships. In this sense, it is necessary for schools to take strategies to observe and prevent students from presenting depressive situations; developing workshops, programs, counseling, periodic evaluations and orientations in order to solve these problems; since it is going to affect an adequate academic performance and difficulties in their personal development.
