Introduction: Depression is a public health problem due to its high prevalence worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 3.8% of the population suffers from depression, including 5% of adults. In addition, it mentions that of the world population suffering from depression, 8.6% are young people; it also reports that the increase of mental disorders is more frequent in university students than in the general population, and this can affect the social, academic and professional performance of students and can also lead to suicide. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between depression and academic performance among human medicine students at UNSM 2023-II. Materials and methods: Basic research, quantitative, with a simple descriptive research level, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational research design. The sample size was 143. Results: The percentage of depressive symptoms profile was identified, where 64.3% represents the negative screening, and 35.7% represents the positive screening. The range of academic performance of the total number of students surveyed was determined, which shows that 51.7% represent good academic performance, 45.5% very good, and 2.8% regular. It was also determined that of the total number of students with positive screening, 19.6% presented good academic performance, 14% very good, and 2.1% fair; and of the total number of students with negative screening, 32.2% had good academic performance, 31.5% very good, and 0.7% fair. Conclusion: No significant statistical correlation was found (Sig.=0.171 is greater than α=0.05), between depression and academic performance, at a confidence level of 95%.
