The legal landscape concerning mental health in Costa Rica is constantly evolving. While laws exist to protect the rights and well-being of individuals with mental health conditions, challenges remain in ensuring proper access to care, combating stigma, and safeguarding the rights of those facing mental health crises. Employers, for example, have a growing responsibility to provide supportive environments for their employees’ mental well-being. Navigating these complexities requires a nuanced understanding of both the legal framework and the practical realities faced by individuals and organizations alike.
