Sumario:Nowadays, mental health has acquired greater relevance and attention as a consequence mainly of the COVID-19 pandemic, to which is attributed a negative impact on the development of life, work and social coexistence of people, along with the magnitude derived from non-communicable diseases. This is why the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS, Mexican Institute for Social Security) developed the Mental Health Comprehensive Program 2021-2024, whose main purpose was to establish strategies and lines of action for the prevention, early detection and timely management regarding mental health and addictions. Based on this, different actions have been carried out, for example, the identification of the material and human resources available at IMSS to meet the mental health issue; the training of healthcare professionals at the three levels of care; the integration of a census that has reported a prevalence of anxiety and depressive episodes in the users of 39.9 and 3%, respectively, as well as the evaluation of instruments for screening mental disorders. Therefore, this document describes what has been done in the IMSS in relation to the user’s mental health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
