What is called mental health depends on the scale of values. In migration, it is possible to assess the rate of medical and psychiatric consultations, and antisocial behavior. Intercultural meetings depend on the host culture intertwining with the arriving group. Intercultural transactions describe four schemes: the worst is camps. Coexistence is a weak link. Assimilation is brutal. The best solution, the most agreed, is bicultural integration.
