Resumen
La depresión puede causar daños irreparables en la vida de las personas por ello es fundamental conocer más de ella. En nuestro tema de investigación la propuesta es caracterizar los síntomas depresivos que se manifiestan después que una persona deja de consumir drogas; en este caso nos enfocamos en la cocaína, y los efectos que produce al dejarlas. Todos los pacientes investigados fueron diagnosticados como dependientes a la cocaína y pasaron por un tratamiento llamado residencial donde han estado internados por seis meses y se encuentran en la actualidad en la etapa de seguimiento. Para medir la sintomatología depresiva se aplicaron dos instrumentos: la escala de depresión de Hamilton y el inventario de depresión de Beck, más las entrevistas individuales, la observación a cada uno de ellos, y así se pudo conocer los principales síntomas depresivos y como estos afectan al normal funcionamiento de estas personas.
Este trabajo fue realizado en la clínica INSACENT centro de salud integral, participaron ocho pacientes los cuales están en la etapa de seguimiento. Podemos decir que todos tienen síntomas depresivos parecidos. Insomnio, sentimiento de culpa, disminución de la concentración, ideas suicidas, pérdida de interés, inutilidad, tristeza, pesimismo, sentimiento de castigo, pérdida de placer, insatisfacción consigo mismo, irritabilidad, cambios en el patrón del sueño. Los resultados del presente trabajo indicaron que los pacientes muestran depresión en diferentes grados que van desde una depresión ligera hasta un grado severo de intensidad. En lo que respecta a diseño de la investigación, la metodología que se utilizó fue el enfoque cualitativo basado en el estudio de casos, esto nos permitió la recolección de información en las diferentes esferas en las que interactúan nuestros pacientes, esto nos proporcionó un razonamiento inductivo, a partir del estudio y análisis de la observación y recolección de datos

In our research topic the proposal is to characterize the depressive symptoms that manifest after a person stops using drugs; in this case we focus on cocaine, and the effects it produces when leaving them. All the patients investigated were diagnosed as dependent on cocaine and underwent a residential treatment where they had been hospitalized for six months and are currently in the follow-up stage. To measure the depressive symptomatology, two instruments were applied: the Hamilton Depression Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory, plus the individual interviews, the observation of each of them, and thus the main depressive symptoms could be known and how these affect to the normal functioning of these people. This work was carried out in the INSACENT clinic, a comprehensive health center, with eight patients participating in the follow-up stage. We can say that everyone has similar depressive symptoms. Insomnia, guilt, decreased concentration, suicidal ideation, loss of interest, uselessness, sadness, pessimism, feeling of punishment, loss of pleasure, dissatisfaction with oneself, irritability, changes in the sleep pattern. The results of the present study indicated that patients show depression in different degrees ranging from mild depression to a severe degree of intensity. Regarding the design of the research, the methodology used was the qualitative approach based on case studies, this allowed us to collect information in the different spheres in which our patients interact, this gave us an inductive reasoning , from the study and analysis of observation and data collection
