Abstract
Mental health is fundamental to well-being and is determined by biological, social and cultural factors. In Mexico, their attention is limited by stigma and inequality. This article highlights the importance of analyzing how culture influences the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, particularly in collectivist societies where group values can mask symptoms. In the case of psychopathy, although it has neurobiological bases, its expression varies: in individualistic cultures it manifests as manipulation, while in collectivists it is linked to hierarchies and violence. Understanding these differences is crucial to generating culturally sensitive public policies.
