Abstract

The research proposes to discuss about the psychiatric issue, both from the perspective of the mental disorder and from the perspective of mental suffering - which is done by hypothetical-deductive research, based on bibliographic and documentary material. In this sense, it is sought to satisfy key objects such as the understanding of the meanings of mental suffering, the historical approach to "madness", the philosophical reflection of the asylum logic and the social cuts and the explanation of democratic psychiatry as an alternative to predatory patterns. Thus, an extended perspective of the psychiatric question becomes feasible, with a humanistic perspective on the treatment of the suffering person and the reflection on dignity as an inseparable element of the human person.
