The institutionalisation of madness: a past still present by J.P. Gomes Do Nasci

Description: The institutionalisation of madness by J.P. Gomes Do Nascimento Simões This study aims to investigate the meaning produced by mental health users in relation to the condition of being institutionalised in a hospital, using the Brazilian Mental Health Policy as a reference base. The results show that the perception of mental disorder has its own characteristics for each participant, but shares the same idea: that mental disorder is considered a complex, bad and painful condition for those who experience it. Long stays in hospital, on the other hand, have several meanings: imprisonment, idleness, curing addiction and belonging to the institution, as they see the hospital as a resource they can count on in the absence of their families, but they make it clear that they dont want to live in that environment for long. We found that a large proportion of institutionalised people have a mental disorder, but these are complaints and symptoms that do not justify prolonged hospitalisation, not least because they are all being discharged and this is exclusively a political and social issue.
