Observational, descriptive, prospective, cross and single centre study was carried out in non-family doctors of the HGP/MF Nº 31 of Mexicali, B.C. We used the Zung Depression Questionnaire, were used measures of central tendency, dispersion, and analytical with chi square. 74 surveyed non-family physicians, 40 (54%) female and 34 (46%) of the male gender. Depression arose in medical 8 (10.81%), of which the minimum depression arose in 3 (4.05%), moderate in 2 depression (2.70%) and severe depression in 3 (4.05%). The relationship between depression and the study variables was not significant (p › 0.05).As the conclusion it is noted that in fact depression is present in non-family doctors of the HGP/MF Nº 31 IMSS of Mexicali, B.C., being the same frequency in both genders.
