Research on the analysis of the psychosocial Variables associated with Mental Health in students of Bachelor of zone 5, distrit 5, circuit 5, year 2015, aimed at selecting the variables considered predictors of mental health and the problematic use of substances. The methodology used was the field research with descriptive studies. We used a battery with psychometric scales allowing to obtain quantitative variables, took a sample of 42 students of first and second year of Bachelor's degree from an educational institution in the city of Quito, zone 9, District 5. The results generally are not worrisome, most students aren't habitual drug users, despite the fact that there is some evidence of presence of stress and high competitiveness, the social and family support causes that resilience is a protective variable. However, it cannot be neglected, although small, the number of students who present a risk consumption especially with alcohol.
