Background: Since the end of the 20th century, the relationship between low socioeconomic status (SES) and mental health has been investigated; the existence of a bidirectional cycle between these two has been proposed. To this day, no study has been carried out in Peru with a representative sample of the population on low SES and mental health in adolescents. Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the relationship between mental health disorders and socioeconomic status in adolescents in Metropolitan Lima. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was considered, in a probabilistic tri-stage sample, using the database obtained from the survey conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health "Honorio Delgado - Hideyo Noguchi" (INSM). Results: Only a statistically significant direct relationship was found between social phobia and low SES (p=0,031). The other variables of mental health disorders did not show a statistically significant relationship with low SES. Conclusions: A relationship between social phobia and low SES is confirmed in adolescents residing in Metropolitan Lima, where the greater the poverty, the greater the social phobia.
