- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Do sonho à loucura: imigrantes portugueses e a doença mental em São Paulo (1929-1939)(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2016-02-02) Silva, Ewerton Luiz Figueiredo Moura da [UNIFESP]; Nemi, Ana Lucia Lana [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)It is intended here to discuss the Portuguese presence in asylums institutions of São Paulo between 1929 and 1939. In the early twentieth century, São Paulo City received thousands of immigrants seeking a better life through their attempt to "make America" urban growth has been accompanied by new realities of the city, including the organization of asylums institutions. In 1898 it was founded the Insane Asylum of Juquery, designed by the doctor Francisco Franco da Rocha and 31 years after the Pinel Sanatorium by Antonio Carlos Pacheco e Silva.

- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Fatores sociais na produção do sofrimento psíquico: uma revisão narrativa da literatura(Universidade Federal de São Paulo, 2021-08-06) Balbino, Fernanda Castilho de Souza [UNIFESP]; Surjus, Luciana Togni de Lima e Silva [UNIFESP]; Silva, Rondinelli Salvador; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2303895617511302; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8786999221233177; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7302902586775034Introduction: Human life is socially provided in all its dimensions, including health. Understanding the social determinants of health, therefore, does not consist in understanding only that health depends on access to human objects, but what possibilities for human fulfillment depend on the relations of production in each social formation. Bringing this concept to the field of psychiatric diagnosis, it is possible to see that psychopathological or diagnostic variables are secondary to the outcome of the rehabilitative process, while social and situational variables have a comparatively more important weight. From this, there is an interest in the problematization of the relationship between psychiatric diagnosis and psychological distress, based on the social determinants of health-disease. Objective: Identify and systematize recent scientific productions that problematize social factors in the production of psychic suffering and understand which and how social factors have been identified in these productions and reflected through psychiatric diagnosis. Method: This is a narrative review through searches for articles indexed in the CAPES and SciELO portal, in which the terms: "race" OR "social inequality" OR "gender" AND "mental health" OR "psychiatric diagnosis" were used. Results and Discussion: The prevalence of some social factors in the production of psychological distress was noted, such as raciality, gender, income and psychiatric diagnosis. The division by thematic categories was necessary. Issues such as structural and institutional racism were the most present in the findings, followed by gender roles played in society and the issue of income, both delimited by the correlation of intersectionality with race. Final Considerations: It was found that issues such as raciality, gender and income have great weight in determining how a person falls ill and who will be recognized in their illness in society, thus, social production and its determinants in the health-disease process are powerful in explaining such issues. From this, it was realized that the psychiatric diagnosis is insufficient to cover the complexity of the human being and its social issues. It is necessary to analyze the context and social production in which the subject is inserted and not delimit an individual reason for the psychiatric diagnosis, as this fact ends up reinforcing and justifying social exclusion.
