    Adolescence is a transitional stage characterized by physical and emotional changes . Adolescents are more prone to develop mental health problems. Anxiety and video game dependence are phenomena that have increased in prevalence in recent years in adolescents, reflecting a significant challenge. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the relationship between anxiety and dependence on video games in adolescents between 13 and 19 years of age in the rural sector. The study used a quantitative approach with a non-experimental design and correlational scope, with a cross-sectional cut. The instrument used to assess anxiety was the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Test of Video Game Dependence (TDV) was used to assess video game dependence. After analyzing the results, a prevalence of moderate anxiet y and a low level of video game dependence were found. In addition, significant differenc e s were observed between men and women in video game dependence, with men having a higher score. Finally, it was found that there was a slight positive relationship betwee n the variables studied.
