Anthropology of mental illnesses: the origin of psychopathologies and developmental psychopathology: gender issues

Abstract

This research aims to address the potential factors that generate mental disorders. Human pathologies have been extensively studied and researched from a biological perspective, however many scientific studies in the field of developmental psychopathology indicate that political, religious and biopsychosocial-cultural factors can influence both the origin and the course of evolution of mental illnesses. The methodology used was a bibliographic review in the field of psychology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis and anthropology. Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies that integrate disciplines such as anthropology, psychology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, education, social assistance and sociology are fundamental not only for nosology and nosography, but above all with the support of maximum information on how factors act genetic, hormonal and biological factors and cultural and socioeconomic agents interact in the generation of mental disorders at the individual and collective level, taking precedence over the effects of social disorders in the generation of psychopathologies in the LGBTQIAPN+ population.
