OLIVEIRA, Jéssica Maria Vieira et al. Mood disorders, symptoms and treatment in the family's perspective. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.2, pp. 42-48. ISSN 1806-6976.  http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.1806-6976.smad.2020.149056.

OBJECTIVE: to understand the perception of family members of patients diagnosed with a mood disorder concerning the disease, its symptoms and treatment. METHOD: qualitative case study with relatives of patients diagnosed with mood disorders undergoing treatment in a psychiatric hospital. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews and analyzed by content analysis. RESULTS: misinformation and stigma permeate this panorama, weakening relationships and impairing family support and treatment, which involved medication, psychotherapy and electroconvulsive therapy. CONCLUSION: mood disorders, given their complexity and prevalence, must be understood by society, families and professionals. The family is affected by mental suffering and needs to be the focus of care.

Palabras clave : Mood Disorders; Family; Psychiatry; Social Stigma.
