MENTAL HEALTH

The pandemic has altered our routines and poses a challenge to mental health, especially for people living alone, those with psychiatric or somatic problems, those in a situation of dependency, or health or educational professionals subjected to stress that has become chronic, and to continuous decision making, often without clear criteria. Mental health is, in general terms, the state of balance between a person and his or her socio-cultural environment that ensures his or her participation in work, intellectual, relationships to achieve well-being and quality of life.
