This is a qualitative and descriptive study, whose objective was to verify the perception of caregivers about patients with mental disorders treated in the public health network in the city of Montes Claros-MG. The work was developed at the Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS). The data were obtained through a focal group and analyzed through the discourse analysis technique. After data collection, categories related to the difficulties and challenges encountered by caregivers, patient behavior and caregiver overload emerged. It was concluded that the family caregiver of the mentally ill person presents suffering and lack of information. This demonstrates the need to bring the health team closer to the caregiver, since this interaction may contribute to the process of mitigating the responsibility of caring.
