Abstract
The relationship between agribusiness, pesticides and mental health problems is a branch of interdisciplinary research of unquestionable relevance that has been increasingly described in the national and international literature (MOSTAFALOU; ABDOLLAHI, 2017; ARAÚJO; GREGGIO; PINHEIRO, 2010). There is already an important heritage in this field relationships - of which the psychological is a constituent part - so that the consistencies of countless results from decades of investigations strengthen the thesis that different chemical substances used in monocultures associated with the contexts of environmental and labor exploitation cause serious damage to the mental health of populations exposed to them, as a result of integration of biological and individual and socio-historical-environmental aspects in which they are produced.
