Intensificação de cuidados a uma usuária em sofrimento psíquico grave: um relato de experiência

Abstract

This study describes an internship experience in which a user in severe psychological distress was monitored, accredited at a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) II. During follow-up, due to the severity of the case, a care intensification strategy was constructed, seeking to promote mental health care in freedom and in the user's territory of life, as recommended by the Brazilian psychiatric reform. Various care modalities were used, with special importance being Therapeutic Monitoring (TA). This provision of care resulted in considerable improvements in the user's quality of life, enabling greater autonomy and reduction of psychopathological symptoms. The study highlights the importance of intensifying care for people in severe and persistent psychological distress, in freedom, with teamwork and interprofessional collaboration, using the intersectoral network with services belonging to the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS).
