    AbstractThis article presents a critical reflection on the conceptual perspectives in mental health, in the quest for new meanings for this concept and its implications in the context of achieving peace in Colombia. For this, an integrative review of the literature was conducted in seven bibliographic databases and search engines. As a result, five conceptual perspectives of mental health were identified: 1) biomedical and behavioral; 2) wellbeing and its potential; 3) cultural; 4) psychosocial; and 5) based on social determination, the epistemological foundations, contributions, criticisms, and limitations of which are described in each case. Finding more pertinence in the proposal of mental health from collective health/social medicine rather than from the classic public health for achieving peace in Colombia, a comprehensive view of mental health that takes into account its socio-cultural relevance from a critical and socio--historical position is proposed.
