O presente estudo buscou compreender a realidade das mulheres e os fatores ligados à sua saúde mental, a partir de uma compreensão da realidade social enfrentada pelas mulheres no Brasil. A pergunta que orientou o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foi a seguinte: em que medida a desigualdade de gênero pode impactar na saúde mental das mulheres. O método utilizado foi o dedutivo, partindo-se de compreensões gerais visando se chegar a compreensões particulares. A partir da técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica, chegou-se à conclusão de que o cenário social constrói a porta de entrada para o adoecimento mental das mulheres, mas outras questões, a exemplo da ausência de políticas públicas voltadas ao bem-estar da mulher, também são fatores contributivos para o adoecimento.

The present study sought to understand the reality of women and the factors related to their mental health, from an understanding of the social reality faced by women in Brazil. The question that guided the development of the research was: to what extent can gender inequality impact women's mental health. The method used was deductive, starting from general understandings in order to reach particular understandings. From the bibliographic research technique, it was concluded that the social scenario builds the gateway to women's mental illness, but other issues, such as the absence of public policies aimed at women's well-being, are also contributing factors for illness.
