Models, protocols, and pathways, towards a social perspective in the mental health care of migrants in transit through Mexico.

To guarantee the right to mental health for migrants, we analyze the network of services, models, and protocols of attention produced to address the particular needs of this population. Through interviews with governmental and civil society healthcare personnel, part of the network of services and resources available for mental health, we conclude that psychologists operating in civil society organizations and shelters have innovative paths to provide appropriate care adjusted to the context lived by migrants during transit. Unlike the psychiatric dominant model, the psychosocial model of civil organizations provides a social perspective adequate to include in the protocols of the medical official institutions responsible for mental health care in Mexico.

The relationship between violence and depression in migrant women through their experiences in care services.

Based on ethnographic work with undocumented immigrant women who developed depressive episodes due to various forms of violence, this article recovers the women's experience of care in the clinic space of their host country. Through therapeutic itineraries of care, the article focuses on the case studies of two women of Mexican origin in New York City to describe, based on their experience, the communication and the encounter between the doctor and patient; the expectations of migrant women regarding mental health care services; and the explanatory models of depression of both the patients and the treating physicians. This analysis seeks to contribute to the knowledge regarding ways of treating the mental health problems of undocumented women in contexts of violence.
