Results are discussed in the context of their relevance as a public health problem and their implications for professional interventions. 2018 artículo científico 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58257575006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58257575006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58257575006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58257575006/58257575006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58257575006/movil 10.17711/SM.0185-3325.2018.018 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.3 Vol.41
