Abstract

Mental Health is, according to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2022) "a state of mental well-being that allows people to cope with stressful moments in life, develop all their skills, learn and work properly and contribute to the betterment of their community”. The COVID-19 pandemic increased its problems to 17.3% in Europe and 49.5% in Colombia; promoting the issuance of public policies to address them, highlighting France, Norway, Germany, Canada and Japan (Torres Melo & Santander, 2013). Colombia has policies, but the evaluation indicators seem inefficient (DANE, 2021), hence the objective of making an updated scope bibliographic review to establish consistency between the proposals and the reality of public mental health policies in Colombia. / 2015-2021. A retrospective secondary qualitative type Scope bibliographic review. Two interviews were conducted; A systematic search was made in 3 databases: Oxford Academy, Springer Link and Pubmed with MeSH search terms. 50 articles were chosen; 2 books and legal documents manually. It was confirmed that France, Norway, Germany, Canada and Japan are benchmarks. In light of the Colombian planning instruments, it was found that there is no consistency between what is proposed by the policies and the reality of the indicators, the data collected and the goals achieved. In conclusion, there is a gap between what was proposed and what was executed in the face of the mental health problem that afflicts the country.
