MENTAL SUFFERING IN THE CONTEXT OF COVID-19'S HEALTH CRISIS IN BRAZIL

The health crisis of the covid-19 pandemic produces expressions of suffering in Brazil and in the world. Since March 2020, the country has been challenged by the pathogen SARS-CoV-2, a mutated, potent, little-known and lethal virus that has already killed more than 600,000 people and infected more t...

description The health crisis of the covid-19 pandemic produces expressions of suffering in Brazil and in the world. Since March 2020, the country has been challenged by the pathogen SARS-CoV-2, a mutated, potent, little-known and lethal virus that has already killed more than 600,000 people and infected more than 30 million people on Brazilian soil alone. Furthermore, the consequences go beyond the field of Collective Health and affect the economic and social dynamics in contemporary times, whether due to narrative disputes between saving the economy or lives, or due to the greater exposure of subjects at social disadvantage and even more precarious living conditions. Direct consequences that have been perceived as an effect of two years of pandemic are the development and worsening of psychological suffering, which are present in a considerable part of the population. International organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), in addition to psychologists and psychiatrists, have considered this phenomenon as a “parallel epidemic” when referring to the picture of mental illness that has emerged. Thus, it is a relevant subject due to its influence on the loss of quality of life for people and their families. For this reason, this essay aims to analyze how the health emergency influenced the population's mental health, using theoretical categories developed by exponents of contemporary social thought, particularly the concepts of "State of exception" mentioned by Giorgio Agamben, the “necropolitics” explained by Achille Mbembe, the notions of “biopolitics” and “control of bodies” by Michel Foucault, in addition to the discussions about “precarious lives” by Judith Butler, among other categories and authors. In addition, we also made a brief reflection on the management of information that circulates on social networks during the pandemic and its impacts on the mental health of Brazilians. The aforementioned authors and their theories, although distinct, converge, in this analysis, in the sense of offering ballast for the deepening of the theme of mental suffering in the pandemic context in Brazil. We understand that this is an urgent discussion that needs to be brought up so that, based on the scientific and political debate, we can find alternatives that help us to reduce the harmful effects of the epidemic on the production of subjectivities in Brazilian society.

A crise sanitária da pandemia da covid -19 produz expressões de sofrimentos no Brasil e no mundo. Desde março de 2020 o país é desafiado pelo patógeno SARS-CoV-2, vírus mutante, potente, pouco conhecido e letal, que já levou a óbito mais de seiscentas mil pessoas, e infectou mais de 30 milhões de pessoas somente em solo brasileiro. Ademais, as consequências ultrapassam o campo da Saúde Coletiva e afetam as dinâmicas econômicas e sociais na contemporaneidade, seja pelas disputas de narrativas entre salvar a economia ou vidas, seja pela maior exposição dos sujeitos em desvantagem social e condições de vida ainda mais precárias. Consequências diretas que se tem percebido como efeito de dois anos de pandemia são o desenvolvimento e o agravamento de quadros do sofrimento psíquico, que se apresentam em parte considerável da população. Organismos internacionais, como a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), além de psicólogos e psiquiatras têm considerado este fenômeno na condição de uma “epidemia paralela” ao se referirem ao quadro de adoecimento mental que tem se desenhado. Desse modo, trata-se de um assunto relevante pela sua influência na perda de qualidade de vida das pessoas e de suas famílias. Por tal razão, este ensaio tem como objetivo analisar como a emergência sanitária influiu na saúde psíquica da população, com uso de categorias teóricas desenvolvidas por expoentes do pensamento social contemporâneo, particularmente os conceitos de “Estado de exceção” de que nos fala Giorgio Agamben, a “necropolítica” explicitada por Achille Mbembe, as noções de “biopolítica” e “controle de corpos” de Michel Foucault, além das discussões sobre “vidas precárias” de Judith Butler, entre outras categorias e autores. Além disso, também realizamos breve reflexão sobre a gestão das informações que circulam nas redes sociais durante a pandemia e seus impactos na saúde mental dos brasileiros(as). Os referidos autores e suas teorias, embora distintas, confluem, nesta análise, no sentido de oferecer lastro para o aprofundamento do tema do sofrimento psíquico no contexto pandêmico no Brasil. Entendemos que esta é uma discussão urgente e que precisa ser trazida à baila a fim de que, a partir do debate científico e político, possamos encontrar alternativas que nos ajudem a diminuir os efeitos nocivos da epidemia na produção de subjetividades na sociedade brasileira.  Portal de Periódicos Eletrônicos da UFRN 2023-04-17 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Texto Text application/pdf https://periodicos.ufrn.br/cronos/article/view/28830 Revista Cronos; v. 22 n. 2 (2021): DOSSIÊ COVID-19: Saúde e Sociedade; 53-70 1982-5560 1518-0689 10.21680/1982-5560.2021v22n2 por https://periodicos.ufrn.br/cronos/article/view/28830/16795 Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Cronos http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
