There is gathered from the perspective of the author the approach of the difficulties associated with the problems of mental disorders considered in terms of decapitalization (as loss of global capital: economic, social, symbolic and cultural) and the social associate individual or collective drift (decline or social progressive loss in the social field). These approximations are related to the concepts in public health of load of disease and the stigma that are associated with the disorders. The author proposes to approach in normative terms the legislative and jurisprudence line of public policies in mental health. He considers, for conclusion, to elaborate stages of development in mental health and of sociocultural community development in this field, gathering in addition experiences developed in other contexts.
