O impacto da luta antimanicomial nas novas políticas públicas de saúde mental: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

The anti-asylum movement is a social and political movement that aims to transform the mental health care model, overcoming the asylum logic, which involves the isolation and exclusion of individuals with mental disorders in psychiatric hospitals. In this perspective, studying the impact of the anti-asylum movement on new public mental health policies presents a relevant topic to foster a debate aimed at promoting equality, well-being, and social inclusion of individuals with mental disorders. The methodology adopted involved conducting a literature review. It is concluded that the Anti-Asylum Movement in Brazil represents a highly relevant social and political movement in the pursuit of guaranteeing human rights and the dignity of individuals with mental disorders. Regarding public mental health policies, it is necessary to strengthen them, invest in the training of qualified professionals, and promote awareness and sensitization of the population regarding issues related to mental disorders.
