ABSTRACT

After mapping the Bills (PL) in progress between 2003 and 2016 at National Congress, we present preliminary results from the analysis of PL relatedto the axes Alcohol and other Drugs and Childhood and Youth, themes that predominate in the propositions in the mental health field. In the analyzed period, we observed the hegemony of conservative bills, in both axes, for they move away from the constitutional Unified Health System (SUS), mostly proposed by right-wing parties. Similarly, in the context of the Executive power, after the impeachment of the President of the Republic, the migration of parliamentarians to take ministerial portfolios can generate negative impacts on the National Policy of Mental Health, Alcohol and other Drugs.
