Studies to identify possible relations between artistic creation and psychopathology (starting in nineteenth-century Europe) have influenced Brazilian thought on this topic. The objective of this article, from the perspective of the history of health sciences, is to analyze viewpoints throughout the twentieth century which considered the neurological and psychiatric diseases of Machado de Assis as fundamental to the development and content of his literary work. A theoretical and methodological reading based on Bakhtin found that many authors considered Machado de Assis's epilepsy to be the main reason behind his creativity, which allowed a review of the appropriation of different psychiatric theories in Brazil, as well as various theoretical concepts.
旨在确定艺术创作与精神病理学之间可能存在的关联的研究（始于19世纪的欧洲）影响了巴西在这一主题上的思想。从健康科学史的角度来看，本文的目的是分析整个20世纪的各种观点，这些观点认为马查多·德·阿西斯的神经和精神疾病对其文学作品的发展和内容至关重要。基于巴赫金的理论和方法进行的解读发现，许多作者认为马查多·德·阿西斯的癫痫是其创造力的主要原因，这使得对巴西不同精神病学理论的应用以及各种理论概念进行了回顾。
