| Resumo: | The psychic illness and experience of disease are constructed differently for men and women, as gender power inequalities affect women's health more intensely. This issue is related to women's historical position in society, as the psychiatric asylum was used as a space of violence and isolation for bodies considered deviant. In light of this reality, the main objective of this work is to discuss the social and historical determinants of women's mental illness. To accomplish this task, the investigation is based on a set of theoretical, methodological, and historical-political references. The methodology used includes bibliographic and documentary research, taking into account the gaps that still exist in academic production regarding the themes that permeate the investigation. The theoretical and methodological foundation is supported by the historical-dialectical materialism method, starting from the problematization of reality and seeking the determinations and mediations that explain the problem in light of the social totality that gives it meaning: the bourgeois, patriarchal, and racist society. Based on these historical and methodological constructs, the research critically focuses on the processes of understanding the living and working conditions of Brazilian women and their implications on mental health; the historical relationship between gender and mental health policies; the categorization of women who are more vulnerable to mental illness; and finally, the debate on how the National Mental Health Policy incorporates and addresses the social determinants of women's mental illness. Among the most relevant results of this journey, the importance of categories such as patriarchal gender relations, consubstantiality, sexual division of labor, and family are highlighted for understanding the social dynamics, women's living conditions, and the numerous violence instigated in the heteropatriarchal-machist-racist-capitalist-bourgeois sociability, centered on the intensification of psychiatricization, medicalization, pathologization, and pharmacologization of the particularities and singularities of mental illness. This understanding takes into account the consubstantiality of class, race, and gender relations. The specificity of contradictions in Brazilian reality, the role of coloniality, and its repercussions are emphasized. Finally, the possibilities for overcoming and addressing these issues are evidenced in Mental Health Policies and the National Policy of Comprehensive Women's Health Care, imbued with challenges considering the context of contradictory advances, setbacks, and defunding. |
