<p>The issue of domestic violence has become much discussed nowadays, not only because women have more frequently exposed such abuses, but there is also a stimulus for these people who go through this situation to bring up problems that can be discussed and aided by professionals from the most diverse areas. Thus, this study sought to clarify the issues that guide domestic violence and intersectionalities related to this growing picture in the Brazilian social context and also to relate to the recurrent losses of domestic violence that accentuate the difficulties in mental health. Then, it was proposed as the general goal of this study mapping the engendering of domestic violence and its interconnection with mental health. For this, it was used the post-structuralist that has as main proposal the refusal of the traditional foundations of philosophy and related areas, and from this, it questions and transforms the theoretical principles already postulated and reproduced by the society, questioning the binary ideas. And yet within the methodological context, this study is also bibliographic, since it sought to cover the bibliography already made public in relation to this subject and from the material raised a qualitative approach.
