Abstract: Objective: The study sought to analyze the relationships between mental health, gender and age of high school adolescents from public schools in Valledupar. Method: This research corresponded to a non-experimental correlational quantitative methodology, for which a sample of 110 high school students from 5 public schools in Valledupar was used, between the ages of 13 to 18 years, male and female, and the application of the instrument called General Health GHQ. Results: The results showed that the female gender is at a high level of difficulty in mental health, which generates its importance to continue with the study to delve into the factors of greatest incidence and prevent mental health diseases at a very early age. Conclusions: The importance of establishing a mental health screening in adolescents for the prevention of the disease and mental health care.
