摘要:This study aims to investigate how mental health is being addressed by the comprehensive health care practice of the Family Health Program (FHP). To this purpose we performed a participative research in a unit of this Program in the city of Recife. After discussing the issue with the team it was decided to focus on the psychosocial aspects related to this comprehensive approach. A questionnaire was constructed and answered by a sample of 88 individuals under treatment with “controlled drugs”. The profile of these patients showed a trend to precarious social insertion. The therapeutic course demonstrates that the FHP is not working as an “entrance door” to mental health. We observed some commonsense conceits such as: convulsion, nerves, depression and mental deficiency. The most commonly used drugs were: diazepam, phenobarbital, haloperidole. 44,3% of patients who participated in the study had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital before. In our final considerations we emphasize the importance of understanding the common knowledge of the patients to allow for an integrative health/mental health care approach and highlight the possibility of providing therapeutic care through service networks.
