Disturbances in cognition, emotional regulation, and behavior of the individual characterize mental and Behavioral Disorders (MBD). This study conducted the multitemporal mapping of the MBD rate in the State of São Paulo between 2008 and 2021. The detection and analysis of spatial clustering were performed using spatial statistics techniques. There is spatial dependence in municipalities of the State of São Paulo in the MBD rate from 2008 to 2021. An oscillation in MBD cases in the municipalities was evidenced in recent years. Men are more affected than women, and the age group from 20 to 59 years old is at greatest risk. It is concluded that the MBD rate distribution is not random in the State of São Paulo, and the mesoregions of Campinas, Assis, and Marília were the most worrying in the state. This work showed patterns and trends in the distribution of the MBD rate related to the use of psychoactive substances in different regions of the State of São Paulo. This can help plan and implement more effective public policies to prevent and treat these disorders in the areas of greatest occurrence.
