Abstract
Some conceptual models are dealt with to explain the effects of different human religiosity expressions on mental health. For this purpose, three dimensions in which individual religiosity is expressed on a daily basis are presented. Secondly, the limitations of this sub-field of study are explored, highlighting the "dark side" of the relationship between religion and mental health. Finally, the text deals with the contemporary challenges of this literature and, above all, its reception in Latin America.
