Discussions regarding mental health and emotional stability have integrated perspectives from neuroscience and psychology. Molecular biologist Estanislao Bachrach has proposed that emotional stability can be achieved through sensory intelligence and consistent practices like meditation, which can physically modify brain structure and improve attention. Bachrach also noted the importance of the gut-brain connection in mitigating pain.

In subsequent discussions, psychologist Gabriel Rolón expanded on these themes by addressing identity and existentialism. Drawing on Jean-Paul Sartre, Rolón argued that while individuals cannot choose their circumstances, they maintain the agency to decide how to respond to them. He introduced the concept of ‘faltacidad’—a way of finding happiness by embracing one’s flaws and wounds rather than seeking perfection.
