Neoliberalism, Psychological suffering, Psychiatry, FeminismAbstract
In this article I analyze the existing links between mental health and the construction of subjectivity in a world crossed, both by the demands of neoliberalism, and by the new configurations of feminist struggles. She began the article by mentioning the first feminists who highlighted the gender bias that runs through the field of psychiatry. In the second part of this paper I problematizes the issue of mental health in neoliberalism, dialoguing with the arguments presented by authors such as James Davies (2021), Christian Laval (2013), Michel Foucault (2005), among others. The third part of this paper is dedicated to analyzing how this neoliberal logic and this change in mentality has crossed the world of cis women who work as influencers.
