Resumen

Millones de niñas, niños y adolescentes por todo el mundo están amenazados o afectados hoy en día por una “crisis” global de salud mental. Una crisis que se ha ido gestando, destapando y manifestando durante el inicio del siglo XXI de manera más “invisible” que las plagas y aflicciones responsables de la enorme morbimortalidad infantil de siglos pasados, y cuya gravedad es ahora patente y alarmante. En efecto, los problemas de salud mental en niños y adolescentes conllevan para los que lo sufren, sus familias, y con frecuencia por muchos años o de por vida, una gran carga de sufrimiento, complicaciones, costes sociosanitarios directos e indirectos, y notable letalidad (1).
Las crisis globales resultan a menudo en magníficas oportunidades para ampliar colaboraciones y alianzas entre individuos, comunidades, organizaciones, disciplinas, sectores y naciones para rescatar viejas estrategias, idear nuevas, e implementarlas de forma eficiente y sostenible de acuerdo al contexto cultural y socioeconómico de los beneficiarios y con su participación activa y protagonista (1,2). La salud mental global busca la salud y bienestar mental “para todos, en todas partes” (3). Su área de acción no solo abarca la globalidad geográfica sino también poblacional, y su prioridad es la promoción de la salud mental y el acceso y calidad de servicios para los individuos y poblaciones desfavorecidos en todo el mundo – desde los barrios marginales de ciudades opulentas como Nueva York a las aldeas más remotas de los países más pobres como Mozambique (4).
Esta Editorial pretende ampliar la perspectiva ya mostrada por nuestra Revista en cuanto preocupaciones y esperanzas en salud mental infantil y adolescente (5) al ámbito internacional y global. Pretende invitar a colegas en España a aprender e involucrarse más en la salud mental global, abiertos a aprender e incorporar estrategias de otros países y contextos que puedan ayudar a mejorar nuestra salud mental infantil y adolescente, y a apoyar esfuerzos en países necesitados. A la vez invita de forma más explícita e imperiosa a colegas de todo el mundo a enriquecer nuestra publicación con sus contribuciones científicas.
