Resumo
A depressão na adolescência é um evento comum e traz inúmeros prejuízos de curto e longo prazo, tais como mal rendimento escolar, alterações nas relações familiares e o aumento do risco de comportamento suicida. Portanto, o presente trabalho buscou investigar as percepções dos alunos do Ensino Médio Técnico de uma instituição pública de ensino acerca do tema depressão. Para a coleta de dados foi aplicada a técnica do grupo focal com 43 alunos de uma escola da rede federal, além de questionários fechados. Os resultados evidenciaram que os alunos não reconhecem a depressão como uma doença, acreditam que é algo incurável e que as pessoas que apresentam a doença têm dificuldades de buscar tratamento. Além disso, os adolescentes participantes do estudo percebem que as relações humanas dentro do ambiente escolar podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento da depressão. Pode-se concluir que os estudantes têm a compreensão de que a escola pode contribuir de forma positiva para a prevenção dessas ocorrências, contudo destacam a necessidade de criação de espaços para o diálogo entre toda a comunidade escolar.

Therefore, the present work sought to investigate the perceptions of the Technical High School students of a public institution of education about the depression theme. For data collection, the focus group technique was applied with 43 students from a federal school, in addition to closed questionnaires.

In addition, the adolescents participating in the study realizes that human relationships within the school environment may contribute to the development of depression.
