Objective: to identify the various theoretical and investigative conceptualizations that have been formulated around depression in university students. Materials and methods: research article from a qualitative perspective, with reflections of the second order. The documentary review allows four categories of emphasis to be identified: in biological aspects, in descriptive aspects such as personal-contextual and academic; a systemic structural understanding and a relational systemic one. Categories that were contrasted with an in-depth interview, with a young woman who during her university life went through depressive episodes, with the purpose of establishing conclusions that contribute to a multidimensional approach. Results: product of the documentary review four main explanatory and conceptual understanding categories are established: biological, psychological, interactional, and contextual-social; There are reflections about the importance of considering a comprehensive perspective on the approach to this topic. Conclusions: the analysis of the different views about depression in university students invites us to carry out a holistic and contextual approach to this reality. We conclude the need for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, contextual approach, from a complexity perspective, before complex entities that demand it.
