According to increase schooling increases the risk of suicide and depression, as well as on the basis of the number of

Deprecations. The marital status of the parent’s influence on depression and suicidal risk (p = 0.001; p = 0.003), being most

evident in young people whose parents are not married. The fact that the youth they deal with disease (p = 0.000; p = 0.038),

alcohol consumption (p = 0.000 and p = 0.003) and socializing with colleagues (p = 0.000; p = 0.000) influences significantly

the two mental illnesses. The taking drugs only influences the risk suicidal (p = 0.000) and not practice sports only contributes

to the risk of depression (p = 0.000). The data found in this study corroborate with most of the surveys consulted, which implies

an urgent need for more studies and in older adolescents who enter higher education or who begin to work.

Conclusions:

These results are a contribution on the scarce existing statistics in this field of action, depression and risk of

suicide. In universities, is relevant and a priority to create a strategy that encompasses training programs of coping strategies

and coaching, aimed at reducing the stigma about mental health, in order to facilitate applications for aid in situations of

upheaval and rethink the true meaning that life holds for each and your community. In the future Study the risk and suicidal

depression is a challenge for future research in college students by comparing Portugal and Brazil to develop strategic programs

for the promotion of mental health of young people and implementation of social and educational policies to prevent these

mental disorders.
