Abstract

Mental disorders affect about 23 million people in Brazil and about 5 million suffer from serious disorders. Mental health is a concept that ranges from disorders such as dyslexia, autism, Down syndrome, dementia, depression, which manifest themselves in different ways and with different symptoms, to behavioral disorders such as anxiety and stress, for example – directly related to the living conditions imposed by today's society. To talk about the subject, ABP TV receives psychiatrists Quirino Cordeiro, Marcelo Ribeiro and Sandra Peu, in addition to the participation of Dr. Antônio Geraldo, president of the ABP. Watch it here.
