Exploring the invisible threads: Social determinants of health and emotional self-perception in Colombia.

Introduction: Mental health is essential for overall well-being, but it is affected by disorders such as depression and anxiety, which are highly prevalent both globally and regionally. The prevalence of these disorders has risen due to factors such as the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, lack of adequate investment in mental health care, and the implementation of low-impact strategies.

Objective: To establish the social determinants of health associated with the self-perception of sadness, depression, and/or anxiety in people in Colombia.
