We live in turbulent times. Over the last two years we have faced, and continue to face, unusual global circumstances (lockdown, war, social unrest), which are causing an increase in mental disorders.<\/strong> For Cinthya Molina, one of the psychologists at SHA, \u2018the pandemic has been very shocking because we have never experienced a similar situation. This has caused the most emotionally vulnerable people<\/strong>, or those with obsessive or paranoid tendencies, to develop certain psychological symptoms<\/strong>, such as anxiety, depression or eating disorders\u2019.<\/p>\n It is therefore not surprising that social debate is currently focused on the importance of taking care of mental health<\/strong>. However, what exactly is mental health? As Cinthya tells us, \u2018The World Health Organisation defines mental health as not just the absence of mental disorders, but as a complete and balanced state of physical, mental, and social (and I add spiritual)<\/strong> well-being, in which each individual can develop their full capacities, cope with the normal stresses of life<\/strong>, work productively and contribute to the community. In short, it implies a positive sense<\/strong> that combines individual well-being with functioning in society because, let’s not forget, human beings are social beings\u2019.<\/p>\n
