The law on mental health has just been adopted in the country, after a long process. The latest regulations promote, regulate and guarantee the right to mental health protection within a comprehensive social scenario.

Mental harmony is the result of a number of factors, both social and individual. The unprecedented global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has marked the mental health of all inhabitants of the planet. Depression, suicides, addictions, violence and anxiety have increased as manifestations of moral suffering. Mental well-being has to do with emotional, psychological and social. Individual health in these areas requires, in addition to the care that the public system must provide, personal behaviors of adaptation or resilience, such as healthy lifestyle habits, building and experiencing moments of leisure in which people share… others.

In local scenarios characterized by lack of employment opportunities, violence, insecurity, poverty, lack of opportunities for improvement; and, globally, from pollution, destruction of nature, bloody wars, inequality and persistent opposition to stop the disaster, the helpless individual suffers and his mental health is subjected to harsh processes of social adaptation that, on many occasions, go beyond the traditional status quo of order and institutionality, adhere to a violent and chaotic marginality that suppresses an organized social structure that does not respond to its demands.

Global unrest exists. Mental health, in many cases, is precarious, a condition exacerbated by humanity’s spectacular dedication to computing, which destroys and challenges all previous social conventions – including regulatory systems of all kinds – from the watchtower or underground. unattainable for an organic, sensitive person who needs anything and everything to live and design.
