Saúde mental e vulnerabilidade social: a direção do tratamento

Abstract

O objetivo do texto é refletir sobre as relações entre saúde mental e vulnerabilidade social a partir do encontro da Psiquiatria Biológica com a Reforma Psiquiátrica. Problematizamos o conceito de saúde mental, o conceito de vulnerabilidade social, os manuais diagnósticos, as pesquisas epidemiológicas, tendo como pano de fundo as Políticas Públicas de Saúde. Identificamos a necessidade de superação da lógica técnico-científico tradicional incorporando a singularidade e saberes ligados aos sujeitos que são afetados pelo sofrimento.

Academic performance of students who underwent psychiatric treatment at the students’ mental health service of a Brazilian university

“…A simplistic form of logic that correlates "madness" and "poverty", thereby reinforcing stigma and prejudice with regard to the least favored population, is a pitfall to be avoided. 13 The fact that a considerable number of students underwent psychiatric care before seeking the service for the first time is open to several interpretations.

A atuação junto a grupos vulneráveis pressupõe abertura para ações intersetoriais e a formação de redes de atenção, promovendo a integração da saúde com outras áreas 28 . Essa integração, contudo, ainda é um desafio.…”

The (un)preparation of the judiciary hospital for resocialization: violation of human rights

“…28 In this sense, the authors consider that the hospitalization of MS sufferers does not contribute to the improvement of their psychic state, only punishes them for the offending act committed. These people should be considered vulnerable, as they express the potential for illness related to the individual living under a set of conditions.…”

“…These people should be considered vulnerable, as they express the potential for illness related to the individual living under a set of conditions. 28 The vulnerability presents characteristics very different from the concept of risk, since it seeks to identify elements related to illness in more concrete and particular perspectives, trying to understand the mediations and relationships that determine them. 28 This study has as limitation to be restricted to a HCT, although it is the only one still existing in the state of Minas Gerais.…”
