A psicopatologização da infância no contemporâneo: um estudo sobre a expansão do diagnóstico de transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade

The expansion of psychiatric labeling does not reach only the adult population, but also the problematic related to childhood have been captured by the speeches and practices of the medical-psychiatric knowledge and turned into psychopathologies which tend to be treated with the main resource made available by psychiatrics in the present times: the psychotropic drugs. This work presents a critical thinking on the expansion of the diagnoses of “attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity” (ADHD) both in children and teenagers and on the conduction of drug therapies. It follows that the processes of childhood psycho-pathologization and the trivializing of psychotropic drug prescription are related to the overvaluation of the biological conception of psychic suffering and to the economic interests of the great pharmaceutical laboratories which by means of several strategies influence the medical practices, factors that lead to exposure of these patients to possible side effects and the risks of stigmatization that must be considered.

A prescrição banalizada de psicofármacos na infância

Atualmente, qualquer sinal de mal-estar pode ser diagnosticado como uma patologia cuja terapêutica será a administração de psicofármacos. A prescrição abusiva de psicofármacos não atinge apenas os adultos, mas também o mal-estar das crianças tem encontrado uma resposta pronta naquele saber autoritário que não resiste à compulsão de medicar. Preocupado com esse processo de medicalização, este trabalho apresenta, através de um estudo de caso de uma criança longamente submetida a uma medicação questionável, uma reflexão crítica sobre a condução de terapêuticas que tendem a produzir pacientes medicados em série, sem abordar a constituição subjetiva do sujeito.

Nosso estudo tem como objetivo fazer uma cartografia da infância na poesia de Manoel de Barros. Em nossa análise aproximamos a literatura da infância para identificarmos as marcas constitutivas do modo sapeca de ser criança. Assumimos a sapequice da criança como o eixo de articulação temática entre a poesia e a infância. Construímos o corpus de nosso estudo no rastreamento da obra poética de Manoel de Barros. Assumimos a literatura como modo de vida para compreendermos como o poeta produz em suas relações com a linguagem os recursos de ruptura frente a uma dinâmica de poder responsável pela interdição da criação. Estudamos as relações entre a poesia e a infância, com o foco colocado sobre as formas de criação da sapequice apoiados nas análises sobre a dimensão política da literatura.
