Resumo
O estudo visa ser um contributo exploratório no sentido de aferir quais os mitos e estigmas
presentes na população em geral em associados às pessoas com doença mental.
Para tal, com recurso a um questionário elaborado por especialistas e mediante revisão
bibliográfica, foram recolhidas respostas de 394 participantes.
Pretendeu-se deste modo verificar a existência de enviesamentos relativos aos mitos em
diferentes grupos, nomeadamente entre géneros, entre padecer ou não de doença mental,
trabalhar ou não na área da doença mental, e ter familiar com doença mental.
Os resultados revelam a existência de diferenças significativas entre géneros, e entre quem
trabalha ou não na área da saúde mental. Já entre quem tem ou não familiares com doença
mental, e pessoas com doença mental e os demais, não foram verificadas diferenças
significativas.
A partir dos resultados obtidos conclui-se que a interação com esta população é o fator
mais relevante para ter menos mitos associados no que diz respeito às pessoas com doença
mental.

For such purpose, using a questionnaire prepared by experts and through a bibliographic review, responses were collected from 394 participants. The purpose of this study was to verify the existence of biases related to myths in different groups, namely between genders, suffering or not mental illness, work or not in the area of mental illness, and to be familiar with mental illness. The results demonstrate the existence of significant differences between genders, and between those who work or not in the area of mental health. Among those with or without family members with mental illness, and those with mental illness and the others, no significant differences were found. From the results obtained it is concluded that the interaction with this population is the most relevant factor to have fewer associated myths with respect to people with mental illness.
