OBJECTIVE:
to describe characteristics of work-related mental disorder (WRMD) cases in the State of Bahia, Brazil, 2007-2012.
METHODS:
this was a descriptive study using Bahia Surveillance and Health Protection Superintendents Office data kept on the Notifiable Diseases Information System (Sinan).
RESULTS:
211 cases of WRMD were reported, 97.0% in the Worker's Health Reference Centers (CEREST), with more reported cases in 2011 (n=63; 29.9%); slightly more than half the cases were found among men (n=108; 51.2%), the majority aged 18-49 (n=167; 79.1%), in formal jobs (n=179; 84.8%) and among service workers and sales persons (n=48; 22.7%); the most reported disorder was post-traumatic stress (n=51; 24.2%).
CONCLUSION:
almost all cases were reported in CEREST; despite underreporting, the characterization of cases is relevant for informing the construction of a network of mental health care in Occupational Health.
