Charting Pathways. Timing of diagnostics in childhood.

This paper questions and reflects on the avatars that can be found in the field of mental health, an example is the stigma, which carries with it a devaluation of the subject with a certain mental illness. However, society omits the subject as a subject of law, who must be respected in his full human dignity. However, this is not only included in adults or young people, but also in infants, who should receive an equivalent veneration from another individual, in all the spaces that make up his life, whether family, educational, social.This is how psychological concepts are developed, which lead to reflect on the "deviations from the normal", or "from the norm", associating this social vision with the concept of abnormality. But what is normal or abnormal? These ideas are embedded in the subjectivity of each person, but reach their limit when they conceive harm to others, or when they are produced as obstacles to the mental progress of the other.For this purpose, a clinical vignette was taken into account, which is useful to guide the reading, being of support, in order to integrate the concepts developed throughout the book.
