Abstract

Understanding society and its phenomena is a complex issue. Still, this complexity cannot be a justification for not seeking to understand, to analyze and remedy the existing obscurities within a collectivity. In this sense, a one of the biggest social problems in the world today is the increase in the number of deaths from suicide, which is usually the way out found by individuals who are with his mental health shaken. Thus, this work aims to deal with suicide and mental health, attesting to them as a huge public health problem in the century XXI and aimed to analyze the real need and possibility of creating policies effective and responsible public that aim to curb (or at least reduce significantly) suicidal behaviors, while stimulating or so contribute to full mental health. For this, the urgency of a greater presence of the Brazilian State in these issues, since it is silent or ineffective in this theme, since, as will be seen later, the stats only increase. Finally, it should be noted that in Brazil, there is a constitutional guarantee of the primordial right to life, which is essential for supporting all others. rights. Therefore, the question is: what is the guarantee of other rights in situations worth where does the individual renounce their precursor, namely, life? Until when the suicide and mental disorders will be treated as taboo by the State and by the society? Until when are we going to normalize what should not be normalized?
