Article Abstract
This paper proposes a psychiatric perspective on mental health given by many years of experience and confrontation with many clinical forms in which the lost of mental health is expressed. This lost brings by effects on those who suffer it as well as on their relatives. The mental health law of Argentina 26657 is analyzed from this particular standpoint.

It is also proposed that some of the ideological origins are traceable back to critical trends within psychiatry and that a lack of academic and professional consult at the moment of its redaction has generated an unnecessary dispute despite important agreements on the spirit of the law.
