The mind has always been an object of wonder and study. Over the years there have been great scientific advances to bring us closer to its understanding, but there is still much to investigate. It would be necessary to recognize that, in addition to the intricacies of the neuroanatomy and physiology of the brain, the mind manifests itself in the light of what each individual is, so that these expressions have particular tints derived from who each person is and the sociocultural scenario that underlies them.
It is said that we are our brain (Hachinski, 2022), but we can also say that the brain, particularly the mind, is a reflection of our biology and society.
The social determinants of health are a example of the aforementioned relationship. They are those circumstances in which people live and work and which influence their state of health (Marmot, 2005). Talking about mental health, they have even been extended to include elements such as traumas associated with migration and social systems of oppression (Alegría et al., 2023).
