La relación entre fumar y depresión en la adolescencia: Implicaciones clínicas y preventivas

E. Becoña, F. L. Vázquez

Resumen


La relación entre la depresión y el consumo de tabaco se ha estudiado ampliamente en los adultos, mientras que en los adolescentes se le ha prestado poca atención. Sin embargo, del 40% al 70% de los adolescentes deprimidos desarrollan una comorbilidad adicional. En este artículo se revisa la prevalencia del consumo de cigarrillos, la prevalencia de la depresión y la relación entre la depresión y el consumo de cigarrillos en la dolescencia. Los estudios revisados sugieren un elevado grado de comorbilidad entre depresión y fumar cigarrillos en la adolescencia. Este hallazgo debería poner sobre aviso a los clínicos y a otros profesionales de la salud que hay una mayor probabilidad de depresión en los adolescentes fumadores y viceversa. La comorbilidad entre fumar y depresión en los adolescentes sugiere también que la prevención del hábito de fumar y los programas para dejar de fumar deben de tener en cuenta los porcentajes elevados de depresión en los jovenes adolescentes.
