TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Work-related mental disorders and their inclusion in health policies in the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde) JO - Journal of health psychology A1 - Cocchiola-Silva, Rafaela A. SP - 390 EP - 399 VL - 21 IS - 3 N2 - This study discusses the inclusion of mental disorders as work-related diseases in occupational health policies in Brazil. Mental disorders first appeared as a group of occupational diseases in 1999. Establishing mental disorders as occupational diseases was a result of the confluence of several factors: a broader notion of health, a positive shift in public perception regarding preconceived judgements relating to mental disorders and the improvement in the process that defines social security benefit entitlements due to the implementation of a new methodology in 2007.
