ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El objetivo de este trabajo fue reconstruir los significados y narrativas sobre la discontinuación de fármacos psiquiátricos, considerando las estrategias para abandonar su consumo y los procesos de construcción de identidad en torno a ello. En 2015, se realizaron entrevistas individuales semiestructuradas en profundidad a cinco personas de Santiago de Chile con experiencias de diagnóstico psiquiátrico, que tuvieron tratamiento farmacológico durante ocho años o más y que discontinuaron el uso de fármacos psiquiátricos como mínimo un año. Los resultados muestran que existen barreras institucionales que limitan el derecho a abandonar el tratamiento, por lo tanto, se realiza de forma autónoma a través de un proceso íntimo y personal, utilizando estrategias de autoayuda y de apoyo social. A su vez, la discontinuación de psicofármacos se asocia a la construcción de una identidad de "ex usuario" recopilando saberes en torno a la figura de experto por experiencia en el campo de la salud mental.


ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to reconstruct the meanings and narratives surrounding the process of discontinuing psychiatric drugs, taking into account the strategies used to abandon these drugs and the processes of construction of identity. In 2015, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted individually with five people from Santiago, Chile who had experiences of psychiatric diagnosis, who received treatment with psychiatric drugs during eight o more years, and who discontinued the use of psychiatric drugs for at least one year. The results show the existence of institutional barriers which limit the right to abandon treatment; therefore, people do so autonomously through intimate and personal processes utilizing self-help and social support strategies. At the same time, discontinuing psychiatric drugs implies the construction of a "former user" identity, concentrating knowledge in the figure of expert by experience in the mental health field.
