Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação científica trata a questão da saúde mental na infância e na adolescência e objetiva realizar uma reflexão acerca deste tema sob a visão de técnicos especializados na área, e, também, sob a visão de populares.
Durante muito tempo, a doença mental foi escondida atrás de uma cortina de estigma e discriminação. As doenças mentais afetam cerca de 121 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo e a Organização Mundial de Saúde (2001) prevê que, em 2020, a saúde mental será uma das principais causas de invalidez nos países desenvolvidos, e Portugal não é exceção.
Esta investigação tem uma abordagem epistemológica qualitativa pelo que foi elaborados dois guiões de entrevista semiestruturada destinados a nove profissionais que desempenham funções na área da Saúde Mental em contexto hospitalar e, também, a seis populares de forma a recolher as perceções que os mesmos têm sobre a temática.
E, por fim, procedeu-se a uma análise de conteúdo através do cruzamento dos dados obtidos para se chegar a um entendimento e perspetivas sobre a temática da saúde e doença mental vista por técnicos especializados e populares.
