SUMMARY:

Modern medicine, since the 18th century, presents itself as a biopolitical strategy used by the State for the control and management not only of individual bodies, but of the entire social body, which starts to be thought and organized from the medical institution. Not only diseases, but individual and collective behavior are dictated and managed based on medical knowledge.We call this phenomenon medicalization, a complex social phenomenon that presents a polysemy of meanings, as a common point the appropriation of human ways of life by medical jurisdiction. In the field of mental health, even with the advances of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform and the expansion of psychosocial care services, the centrality of care in the prescription of psychiatric drugs is an unreformed reality. In this way, we propose the experience with the Autonomous Medication Management Guide (GAM), as a strategy that rescues autonomy, citizenship and shared care. The GAM Guide has its origin in the province of Quebec in Canada in the 1990s, as a result of the mobilization of social movements that fought for alternative treatments to biomedical logic. In 2010, a multicenter research was carried out for translation, validation and adaptation to the Brazilian reality, the GAM-BR Guide. The Canadian guide consists of six steps, with questions designed to promote the problematization of the use of psychotropic drugs, allowing users to discuss their experiences with medication between peers and their reference team. We bet on this tool as a PhD work proposal, collectively implementing and monitoring an Autonomous Medication Management (GAM) group in a Psychosocial Care Center AD in the city of Natal / RN. We set as a general objective: To analyze the experience of users participating in the Autonomous Medication Management (GAM) group at a CAPS AD in the city of Natal / RN in the light of the phenomenon of medicalization of life. As specific objectives: to map the experiences lived in the users' illness process; discuss the place that the psychotropic medication occupies in the lives of users participating in the GAM group; and, investigate paths produced by users in the sense of expanding life and affective connections through GAM meetings. Based on the assumptions of research-institutionalist intervention, which argues that all research is intervention and breaks with the traditional Cartesian method. Involved in the field of experience, the researcher does not pretend to be neutral, on the contrary, he makes his mark. There are no subject-object, know-to-do dualisms, nor knowledge prior to immersion in the experience, a knowledge produced that is local and temporary. The group was composed of three researchers (graduate students of PPgPsi-UFRN), three undergraduate students, fifteen users and five service professionals (psychiatrist, nurse, psychologist, occupational therapist and nursing technician). The meetings took place from March to November 2018, with weekly frequency and duration of one and a half hours. With the consent of the participants, the meetings were audio-recorded and transcribed for analysis. We built two major analytical axes that we call: psychiatric reform and asylum remnants in contemporary care practices; and connections with the family, staff and other users who have produced a life extension. In the midst of the challenges posed, the group process triggered by the GAM Guide produced displacements and inventiveness in the collective and proved to be a powerful device in the reaffirmation of differences and in the production of life in freedom in the field of mental health.
