Sumario:The right to health is highlighted in the international scope of Human Rights as it serves both as a limit to the exercise of certain practices, as well as being an integral and essential part of obtaining other basic rights to a dignified life, such as social assistance, culture, and employment as they promote social inclusion and citizenship. Within the neoliberal logic of using human labor for profit at any cost and reducing the capacity of States to propagate social welfare policies, the restrictions observed serve as a safeguard against precariousness of workers' mental health. For the WHO, the concept of health goes beyond a simply medicinal vision, also encompassing aspects of well-being and integrity, both body and mind, with equal predictability, especially according to ILO Convention 155 and its aspects inherent to occupational health in the work environment and which must be preventively established. This article seeks to analyze in a critical-deductive way, through research of the relevant bibliography, as well as international documents, firstly presenting the Right to Mental Health as a Human Right to later determine within this construction, Burnout as the major problem to be faced. be faced, then passing the new WHO/ILO guidelines, presenting final considerations in the sense that the protection of mental health is a Human Right with fundamental consequences in the conduct of internal business policies that must seek to prevent occurrences, without prejudice to their legal responsibility.
