OBJECTIVE Identifying the types of non-psychotic mental disorders in adult women who suffered intimate partner violence in the literature. METHOD An integrative review carried out in the MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. RESULTS We selected 19 articles published in international journals in English, with a predominance of cross-sectional study studies (78.9%). The most common types of non-psychotic mental disorders were: depression (73.7%) and post-traumatic stress disorder (52.6%). It was observed that 78.9% of the articles presented a 2C level of evidence. CONCLUSION Studies have shown that adult women who are victims of intimate partner violence mostly suffer from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as other morbidities; a fact that highlights how devastating violence by an intimate partner can impact on the mental health of those who experience it.
