Resumen

High school students with high academic achievement often face difficulties that affect their mental health. The objective of this study was to analyze whether family functioning and satisfaction with studies predict depression in students of the high-performance Mayor Secondary Presidente del Perú School. The study included 506 students with high academic performance, aged between 14 and 17 years, of both sexes and from different departments of the country. The instruments used were the Family Functioning Scale (APGAR), the Brief Scale of Satisfaction with Studies (EBSE), and the Abbreviated Child Depression Questionnaire - DCI-S. The results indicated that the variables were significantly related and that family functioning and satisfaction with studies were predictors of depression.
