Sumario:Introduction: The hospital environment of mental health requires special attention due to the prevalence of figures around welfare work stress, its main consequences are: psychological disorders (anxiety-depression), it is necessary to know the mental state of all professions. Objective: To establish the strength of the relationship between anxiety, depression and occupational stress in health care personnel of a psychiatric hospital. Materials and methods: This is an investigation with a non-experimental, relational, transversal and prospective design, limits of space and time in a psychiatric hospital in Aguascalientes, in the year 2020. Results: Out of a total of 86 participants, the prevalence was 2.3% in severe anxiety, 5.8% with less than major depression, and 3.5% with high work stress; the variables were correlated: depression and work stress (rho=.22:p=0.01), depression and emotional exhaustion (rho=.569:p=0.00), depression and depersonalization (rho=.407:p=0.00), depression and personal fulfillment (p=0.19), anxiety and work stress (r=.351:p=0.00), anxiety and emotional exhaustion (rho=.483:p=0.00), anxiety and depersonalization (rho=.30:p=0.00), anxiety and personal fulfillment (rho=-,247:p=0.01). Conclusion: Despite the fact that the psychiatric hospital provides psychological therapy as a method of detoxification by work, there is a 36% low and 60.5% moderate level of occupational stress, areas that trigger lack of contact with reality, low performance in work tasks, negative self-concept and distance from family/social activities. There is a denial around their own mental health, it is necessary to implement an internal program of attention towards the health personnel.
