The World Health Organization emphasizes that health involves complete well-being, not just the absence of illness, highlighting the importance of mental health beyond mere lack of disorders.
In Mexico, the prevalence of mental and behavioral disorders (MBD) was found to be 9.3%, with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder being the most common at 39.8%.
Identifying these prevalence rates is crucial for healthcare professionals to enhance the quality of care and follow-up for patients affiliated with the Mexican Institute for Social Security (IMSS).
