APUNTES SOBRE LAS NOCIONES DE SALUD Y SALUD MENTAL

Abstract

Both conceptions of health - illness as mental health-mental illness are held in three approaches, which in turn generate different levels of anal- ysis. In this present work, we review these approaches and from them we re- flect the need to take into account a perspective which allows as under- stand and explain, in a deeper way, the reality about health and mental health, to avoid superficial or fragmentary analyzes that may contribute to the reproduction of misconceptions that restrict the possibilities of social change.
