La guerra contra las drogas en M\u00e9xico ha provocado un aumento del 30 por ciento en las enfermedades mentales en la poblaci\u00f3n del pa\u00eds, seg\u00fan un reconocido psiquiatra, destacando los efectos menos conocidos del crimen organizado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mar\u00eda Elena Medina Mora, directora del Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatr\u00eda de M\u00e9xico, dijo al diario La Jornada<\/a> que la violencia y el secuestro \u2013 junto con el aumento en el consumo nacional de drogas \u2013 hab\u00edan provocado un cambio tangible en la salud mental de las personas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aunque no ha facilitado informaci\u00f3n para corroborar la cifra del 30 por ciento, Medina Mora se\u00f1al\u00f3 una duplicaci\u00f3n de la tasa nacional de suicidio entre 1990 y 2011. La tasa se hab\u00eda casi que triplicado para las personas de edades comprendidas entre los 15 y 19 a\u00f1os, agreg\u00f3. Los secuestros se asocian particularmente como causantes principales de estr\u00e9s post-traum\u00e1tico, dijo la doctora, que a menudo causa depresi\u00f3n y llev\u00f3 al suicidio en los casos m\u00e1s graves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Probablemente, uno de los retos a los que M\u00e9xico se enfrentar\u00e1 en los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os es evaluar el verdadero alcance del efecto psicol\u00f3gico que dej\u00f3 la guerra contra las drogas. Aparte de secuestros permanentes, tiroteos, y otras muestras muy p\u00fablicas de la violencia, muchos mexicanos deben hacer frente a la cuesti\u00f3n de qu\u00e9 pas\u00f3 con amigos y familiares que han desaparecido. La Procuradur\u00eda General de la Rep\u00fablica ha estimado que m\u00e1s de 26.000 personas fueron reportadas como desaparecidas<\/a> entre 2006 y 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aparte de tratar a los miembros de las fuerzas de seguridad, M\u00e9xico tambi\u00e9n se enfrentar\u00e1 al reto de evaluar el impacto psicol\u00f3gico de la violencia del narcotr\u00e1fico en los trabajadores civiles. Los periodistas y otros empleados de los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n, en particular, pueden ser vulnerables al estr\u00e9s post-traum\u00e1tico. La investigaci\u00f3n realizada por el psiquiatra canadiense Anthony Feinstein encontr\u00f3 que una proporci\u00f3n significativa de los periodistas mexicanos sufri\u00f3 de trastornos psicol\u00f3gicos<\/a>, en niveles semejantes observados en los corresponsales de guerra, pero con una diferencia clave. \u201cA diferencia del grupo de la guerra, que viajan dentro y fuera de peligro, la mayor\u00eda de los periodistas mexicanos\u2026 viven y trabajan en zonas donde la violencia es end\u00e9mica\u201d, dijo Feinstein a la BBC<\/a>. \u201cNo hay descanso del peligro.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La guerra contra las drogas en M\u00e9xico ha provocado un aumento del 30 por ciento en las enfermedades mentales en la poblaci\u00f3n
