Zusammenfassung: | This article analyzes the procedures and the way of understanding and treating mental healthcare needs in the Family Health Strategy in two units of the basic healthcare network of the cities of Natal and Porto Alegre, Brazil. In the first stage of the research, in 2008, semi-structured interviews with the professionals of both healthcare units were conducted. 40 interviews were conducted in Natal, and 14 in Porto Alegre. In both units where research was conducted it was possible to observe the presence of preconceived representations about insanity as well as a strong tendency to solve mental healthcare needs through the simple administration of psychiatric medication. Based on these research results, it is necessary to invest in a mental healthcare policy in basic healthcare based on the creation of effective rapports between users and care givers, which also involves the reformulation of the internal procedures of the teams. Keywords :mental health, basic healthcare, madness Este artigo analisa as formas de funcionamento e de tratamento as demandas em saude mental nas equipes do Programa Saude da Familia em duas unidades da rede basica das cidades de Natal e Porto Alegre, Brasil. Na primeira etapa da pesquisa foram feitas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os profissionais das duas unidades de saude. Em Natal foram realizadas 40 entrevistas; em Porto Alegre 14, todas no ano 2008. Nas duas unidades pesquisadas foi possivel observar a presenca de representacoes preconceituosas que associam a loucura com periculosidade e descontrole, sendo a solucao mais frequente a simples administracao de medicacao psiquiatrica As formas de funcionamento institucionais, mantem ainda uma estrutura vertical e burocratica, que dificulta a aparicao de praticas de prevencao e atencao em saude de carater originais e participativas. Considera-se, a partir destes achados, que e preciso investir numa politica de saude mental na atencao basica, baseada em formas de trabalho superadoras dos modelos medicalizantes e manicomiais, o que implica necessariamente reformular a forma de funcionamento interno das equipes. Palavras-chave: saude mental; atencao basica; loucura.
