ABSTRACT
Introduction. In 2016, there were 4,393 psychiatrists in Mexico, with an estimated rate of 3.68 per 100,000
inhabitants. It is essential to keep this information updated in order to achieve the overall objectives of mental
health care.
Objective. Estimate the total number of psychiatrists and paidopsychiatrists in Mexico in 2018;
identify their geographical distribution, and compare the results with those obtained in 2011 and 2016.
Method.
Comparative, longitudinal study. Various sources were consulted to update the number of psychiatrists and
paidopsychiatrists in 2018 and to determine their sociodemographic characteristics. These characteristics were
compared with those found in 2011 and 2016.
Results. A total of 4,999 specialists in psychiatry practiced their
specialty in Mexico in 2018, 365 of whom are child and adolescent psychiatrists. A rate of 3.71 psychiatrists per
100,000 inhabitants was obtained for a population of 124,737,789. Regarding pedopsychiatric specialists, if we
consider a population of 37,714,991 inhabitants under 16, the corresponding rate is .96 child and adolescent
psychiatrists per 100,000 minors. These specialists are unevenly distributed throughout the country. Approximately
60% of all psychiatrists and child and adolescent psychiatrists practice in the three largest cities in
Mexico.
Discussion and conclusion. Although the national rate of psychiatrists was increased in comparison
with 2016, it is still lower than that recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The geographical
distribution of psychiatrists is uneven due to centralization and economic factors as happens in many countries
in the world.
