¿Por qué medicalizamos el sufrimiento?, con el Dr. José Luis Marín - Parte 1

Have we erred in separating "mental health" from general health? In this impactful first part of his talk at the College of Tenerife, Dr. José Luis Marín, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with decades of experience, presents a revolutionary thesis: mental health doesn't exist; health does. With a profoundly critical and humanistic perspective, Dr. Marín dismantles the dominant biomedical model that has led to the fragmentation of human beings and an excessive medicalization of everyday life. Throughout the talk, he analyzes the historical and philosophical context, pointing to Descartes' error as the origin of the mind-body separation that prevails in modern medicine. Dr. Marín delves into key concepts such as brain-centrism and reveals the scientific reality behind the serotonin myth, arguing that the pharmaceutical industry and the healthcare business have prioritized the sale of drugs over a true understanding of human suffering. Furthermore, the importance of the social determinants of health is highlighted, explaining why factors such as socioeconomic status or loneliness have more weight than genetics in our well-being. This lecture is essential for healthcare professionals, students, and anyone interested in understanding the mechanisms that define our health and well-being beyond pills and reductionist diagnoses. 📚 Want to train with Dr. José Luis Marín?
