OLVERA MUNOZ, Omar Alejandro e JARILLO SOTO, Edgar Carlos. Invisibles: health-disease-care problems of bisexual people and their approach in the psychological profession. La ventana [online]. 2024, vol.7, n.59, pp.42-75. Epub 12-Abr-2024. ISSN 1405-9436. https://doi.org/10.32870/lv.v7i59.7685.
In Mexico, there is a lack in academic research about bisexual Health-Disease-Attention process. This paper analyzes the main problems about health-disease for bisexual people with a Social Medicine and a Collective Health approach. In order to do this analysis, this paper offers a systematization of research’s discoveries related to the Health-Disease-Attention process in bisexual people. Problems on health-disease for bisexual people include worse mental health conditions in comparison to gay and lesbian people. As psychologists have few contextualized knowledge about bisexual health-disease situations, then they cannot adequately respond to bisexual people needs. Bisexual Health-Disease-Attention process is an historical and social product where the lack of visibility and the negative valuation functions as mechanisms to regulate people’s sexuality, which can be reproduced in Health-Attention places, such as Mental Health ones.
