The review of epidemiological studies of psychiatric disorders in children and teenagers in Latin America, is validated and updated in this article. The present article incorporates variants that are contributed from the neurosciences, which allow us to see difficulties as opportunities, across such mechanisms as the plasticity neuronal, trying to change paradigms, frequently pessimistic in this type of review, and we call for the active participation of all the scientific societies of our countries in the development of public policies, based on prevention, for the vulnerability of the rights of our children and teenagers suggesting a multidisciplinary boarding in mental health.
本文对拉丁美洲儿童和青少年精神障碍的流行病学研究进行了回顾和验证，并进行了更新。本文纳入了神经科学领域的一些变化，这些变化使我们能够将困难视为机遇，通过神经元可塑性等机制来改变范式，这种范式通常在这类综述中是悲观的，我们呼吁我们各国的所有科学学会积极参与制定基于预防的公共政策，以保护我们儿童和青少年的权利，建议在精神健康方面采取多学科的方法。
