The most prevalent symptomsare: insomnia, fatigue, forgetfulness, irritability, concentration difficulties, somatic complaints and feelings of worthlessness, which universally affect people of all ages, genders and in all countries, representing 13% of all diseases and reaching about 700 million of people in the world. It causes great economic, social, political and cultural repercussions for the individual and society and a drop in the quality of life of the subject and family members. Objective: To identify and analyze the scientific production about the assistance provided by the multidisciplinary teamin mental health in the context of Primary Health Care. Method: This is an integrative literature review based on studies available in LILACS, BDENF and Scielo. The search was carried out based on the question-problem to be investigated. Regarding the criteria for selecting the collection used, we opted for the inclusion of articles that discussed PHC and the care of the multidisciplinary team in Mental Health, available in full in Portuguese, English or Spanish. Results: Regarding the types of problems found, it was found that the most common are: anxiety (5.2%), conduct/behavior problems (7.0%), hyperactivity (2.7%) and depression (1 .6%). Autism and related problems (1%) These data confirm the importance of assistance from the multiprofessional team, not only in the treatment, but for health education with individuals and family members so that they become supporters of people and do not make them feel guilty and ashamed for their disorder. In the meantime, it was also possible to observe that in the field of mental health, Primary Care becomes the main welcoming and decisive link in the care of mental disorders. Conclusion: The multiprofessional team in Primary Care, developing its role in relation to users, represents the welcoming and resolute bond from the actions of health promotion and prevention. The diagnosis, treatment and adequate follow-up provide patients with better forms of support and more effective follow-up, providing these individuals with a better quality of life, acting actively in order to reduce the high mortality rates caused by mental disorders.
