Abstract

Women's Mental Health in Brazil remains underserved due to the lack of specialized clinical centers and poor research training or productivity. Nonetheless, there have been some promising initiatives over the last two decades to integrate gynecologic and mental health services and provide more multidisciplinary clinical care. This paper reviews such initiatives and discusses their strengths and pitfalls.
