Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Objective The demand for the process of referral to the mental health service from primary care has been growing and, therefore, it is necessary to understand the reasons that are leading to this increase.

Method Thus, the present study aimed to analyze and describe the reasons for referral to the mental health network in the municipality of Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and to identify the characteristics of each user.

Results A total of 688 guides were analyzed, most of them women, presenting anxiety disorders and depressive disorders as the main complaints, classified according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition).

Conclusion Through this study, information about mental health in primary care was provided and may contribute to improve mental health care at this point of care, since no records have been found within the municipality so far that included information on this subject.
