Although Mexican Official Standard 025 addresses mental health, 20% of the productive workforce in Tijuana has minor problems caused by work-related stress and the violence they experience, but there are insufficient institutions to address them.
Psychologist Evelyn Campos, a specialist in Organizational Well-being, explained that workers are exposed to violence ranging from domestic violence to workplace violence, intimate partner violence, and road violence, which leads to depression, anxiety, burnout syndrome, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
She noted that, according to estimates, at least 5% of workers already face severe mental health problems, while 20% could be in an initial phase and, without timely care, could escalate to chronic conditions.
