AB -   Mental health is certainly a new public health problem, but the crucial point is that it not only corresponds to a precise reality that could be extracted from social life: it characterizes an atmosphere of our society where everything that has to do with individual personalities is now the subject of a major social and medical attention. This is a new situation that we must understand. Unlike psychiatry, mental health is not just about health, but also about the social relations of human beings today. The author proposes a hypothesis to account for the following difference: psychiatry is a local language, specialized in the identification of specific problems; mental health, to the extent it permeates the entire society, is a global idiom that consents one to outline the conflicts of contemporary social life which are marked by the generalization of the values of autonomy
