A despatologizar y humanizar la salud mental desde las instituciones académicas: propuestas para un accionar ético político

Abstract

This essay has as some of its references the critical social theory and the human rights framework, with a particular interest in health and mental health. In this paper, I will expose the framework of human rights and the right to health from international organizations, recognizing that there are various critics and debates about its conception. In addition, I will analyze the role of the neoliberal global agenda in human rights, including health and mental health, and its impact on the pathology and dehumanization of mental health. Finally, as a professional of social work and social researcher, I intend to share some reflections on the ethical-political role of the Academy in the defense of this human right.
