dc.description.abstract Introduction. Mental health and psychiatry have been terms of intense and complex use for almost a century, and they may have reached a critical level of ambiguous and imprecise synonymy that makes their definition and validation difficult. Objective. To examine these concepts in depth, establishing precise distinctions, ontological connections, and instrumental scope reinforced by well-defined ideas in ethics and bioethics. Method. Narrative review of pertinent literature, consultation with diverse scientific, medical, historical, philosophical, and literary sources, with appropriate analysis of ethical and bioethical practices. Results. A broad, comprehensive definition is elaborated of mental health as a field with sociocultural, political, and demographic implications, and of psychiatry as a medical specialty. In addition to making clear distinctions and describing the specific impact of both fields on diverse populations, various levels of conceptual linkages, sociopolitical action, and ethical content are highlighted, as well as in processes of administration, education, and research. Discussion and conclusion. There are factors that reinforce or weaken the scope of mental health and psychiatry, including their ethical and bioethical dimensions. Their effectiveness requires a reaffirmation of objectives and the reinforcement of individual and institutional initiatives, as well as the search for authentic connections and a social projection that is objective, comprehensive, and just. en_US
dc.description.abstract Introducción. Salud Mental y Psiquiatría han sido términos de uso intenso y complejo por casi una centu-ria y, en el momento actual pueden haber llegado a un nivel crítico de sinonimia ambigua e imprecisa que dificulta su delineación y vigencia. Objetivo. Estudiar en profundidad los conceptos mencionados, estable-ciendo distinciones precisas, vínculos ontológicos y alcances instrumentales reforzados por nociones éticas y bioéticas definidas. Método. Revisión narrativa de la literatura, consulta pertinente con fuentes de diversa índole médico-científica, histórica, filosófica y literaria y análisis de contenidos éticos y bioéticos pertinentes. Resultados. Se plantean concepciones amplias y comprensivas de Salud Mental como campo de impli-caciones socioculturales, políticas y demográficas, y de Psiquiatría como especialidad médica. Aparte de claras distinciones y de su impacto específico en diversos sectores, se precisan varios niveles de vinculación conceptual, acción socio-política y contenido ético-bioético en ambos campos y en procesos de manejo administrativo, pedagógico y de investigación. Discusión y Conclusión. Existen factores que apuntalan o debilitan los alcances de Salud Mental y Psiquiatría, así como sus características ético-bioéticas. Su vigencia requiere una reafirmación de objetivos y un reforzamiento de voluntades individuales e institucionales, así como la búsqueda de vinculaciones auténticas y una proyección social objetiva, íntegra y justiciera. es_PE
