Introduction: Women historically suffer a process of gender inequality, in which they are often emptied into a socially constructed role of inferiority to men and a restrictive role of caregiver. Theoretical currents point out that the responsibility of children and adolescents is mostly concentrated on the female figure, often triggering negative impacts on their mental health. Objective: To understand the perceptions of women, who follow up on mental health at the Expanded Nucleus of Family Health and Primary Care (NASF-AB), in a Basic Health Unit (UBS) in the Federal District, about demands related to care and responsibilities with children and adolescents. Methodology: Individual, qualitative, semi-structured interview with two women caregivers, assisted by the NASF-AB. Results: Through content analysis, the interviews show a feeling of overload and loneliness by women due to care. Conclusion: Factors such as lack of support, difficulty in accessing public services, history of violence and prejudice in the social environment, directly impact the quality of life of women and their dependents.
