FALTA DE ALIMENTAÇÃO E VÍNCULOS PRECÁRIOS EM SERVIÇOS DE SAÚDE MENTAL VOLTADOS PARA USUÁRIOS DE DROGAS: O CASO DO CAPS AD NO RIO DE JANEIRO

Abstract

This article analyzes how the crisis in food supply, the cut in electricity and water, gave visibility to the dismantling of the SUS, as it affects mental health services in Rio de Janeiro. Based on a reflection on the change in mental health policies for drug users since the 1990s, we present the establishment of a network of such services; the implementation of the Psychiatric Reform guidelines and the current context of the dismantling of the SUS in mental health services. The aim of the text is to reflect on the different impacts suffered by health policies in a scenario of restructuring of Social Organizations (SO), which leads to layoffs and cuts in workers. The lack of food supply and power and water cuts in mental health services demonstrated how the dismantling of the SUS impacts directly in the daily services and in the professional x user relationship within the CAPS AD, resulting in more overload and illness for the team.
