Abstract:

The article aims to understand the relations between experience mentally illness patients and the City of Belo Horizonte, the state capital of Minas Gerais. It is understood that the experience of mental illness is capable of generating narratives that seek to give meaning to suffering and help people to negotiate the everyday decisions. The biographical method was used for the construction of narratives of life trajectories of the three study participants. The biographical narratives revealed diverse experiences associated with mental illness as well as different meanings attributed to this condition. However, interestingly, these stories have a common pattern, often associated with marginal sociabilities the conventions of order, family and work. There is a break with the striking invisibility in asylums, as open services provide the social movement and manipulation of social codes, creating new territoralidades and encodings. However, highlights the need for empirical studies that address themes such as family relations, housing conditions and income of this population to then expand the right to health discussions for the right to housing, work, the right and no place in the city.
