A SUBJETIVIDADE E O PSICOFÁRMACO

Abstract

This theoretical study intends to, as a brief thematic narrative on subjectivity in relation to psychotropic drugs, discuss critically this state of affairs that is the use of psychopharmacological drugs. This subject, long and vastly researched, is in an acute state: the current figures are even more alarming than before. The phenomenon currently called pharmaceuticalization - that is, the choice of a drug instead of a non-pharmacological option - has a direct impact on psychopharmacological consumption. We will approach the theme with emphasis on the subjectivity that seeks medication, even in a supposedly preventive way, to avoid psychic pain and, sometimes, psychic work. There is a subjectivity not passive to medication that seems to be denied in this state of affairs. ABSTRACT
