This whitepaper articulates mental health challenges in Latin America due to AI's impact on social bonds, suggesting necessary frameworks for intervention.
I argue that the mental health crisis we are living through is not accidental but a structural consequence of the Agentic Era. When AI agents absorb cognitive tasks, social bonds and work routines, what is exposed in the human being is what no agent can replace: the need for meaning. This whitepaper articulates my epidemiological diagnosis, distinguishes algorithmic dependence from mediated loneliness, proposes a framework of responsible agentic therapy within the Qualitas Doctrine, and delivers public policy guidelines for Latin American AI Peoples. My thesis: mental health will be the decisive civilisational indicator of Industry 6.0.
