Abstract

The search for mental health has been encouraged and widely publicized due to the high and diverse cases of Mental and/or Behavioral Disorders (MEBD). However, the diagnosis is precarious and sometimes erroneous, requiring multisectoral strategies that understand mental health as the totality of the connection between subjects and between them and health, cultural, and environmental equipment. The existence of a relationship between cases/hospitalizations due to MEBD and health and cultural facilities and green areas in the Federal District for the period from 2008 to 2018 was identified through spatialization and statistics. Of hospitalizations for MEBD by Administrative Region (RA) for the entire federal capital. The results show that the DF provides minimum structures for access to medical treatment for the majority of hospitalizations (93%). However, patients who live in low-income RAs are the most affected by the absence of all attributes analyzed in the study - health equipment, cultural facilities, and green areas -, indicating that access to mental health in the DF is selective and unequal.
