This article presents a reflection on the process of rehabilitation of work-related mental illness through the reconstitution of a worker's Therapeutic Itinerary, highlighting the importance of public health services. Even in the face of significant increase in cases of mental illness and evidence of a relationship with the conditions and forms of work organization, work situations are rarely considered in the assessments of health services. However, despite the current context of dismantling the public health system, there are examples of successful actions, such as the one we discussed here. Through a semi-directed interview with a worker and construction of the Therapeutic Itinerary, we sought to understand her mental illness process, the relationship with work and the path of rehabilitation. The results demonstrate the importance of understanding work as determinant of health, the development of unique therapeutic projects and comprehensive care, revealing that networking, establishing a bond and seeking the protagonism of the user are essential in work-related mental health care.
