Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Analyze the mental health of incarcerated people and how this issue has been addressed among government entities to improve the well-being of these individuals, considering prevalent disorders and socioeconomic factors. METHODS: Research in Pubmed scientific database with the application of the descriptors "mental disorders" and "incarceration”. RESULTS: A great predominance of certain mental disorders among the incarcerated population was observed within the articles analyzed. However, even with some government measures, there’s been identified a gap in public politics to improve and individualize health care. CONCLUSION: The literature analyzed focused the study of the incarcerated population attached to specific diseases and drug abuse, which mostly reinforces stigmas already strongly vinculated to this social group. Nevertheless, it also shown that they need more attention, humanized treatments, security of rights and the government protection over any kind of discrimination. In conclusion, it is yet to determine if the high prevalence of mental disorders in prison can be configured as a precedent or a consequence of incarceration.

监禁与精神障碍的交集:描述性分析

目的:分析在押人员的心理健康状况，以及政府机构如何解决这一问题，以改善这些人的福祉，同时考虑到普遍存在的疾病和社会经济因素。方法:在Pubmed科学数据库中使用“精神障碍”和“监禁”描述词进行研究。结果:在分析的文章中观察到某些精神障碍在被监禁人群中占很大优势。然而，即使政府采取了一些措施，公共政治在改善和个性化医疗保健方面仍存在差距。结论:所分析的文献集中研究了与特定疾病和药物滥用有关的被监禁人口，这在很大程度上强化了已经强烈传播给这个社会群体的耻辱。然而，这也表明，他们需要更多的关注、人性化的待遇、权利的保障以及政府对任何歧视的保护。最后，尚不确定监狱中精神疾病的高流行率是否可以作为监禁的先例或后果。
