Como viver sem meu Prozac ? Uma análise antropológica dos discursos sobre o consumo de fluoxetina em um site de relacionamento

Abstract

In this work we will focus on the use of antidepressants, seeking to question the position most commonly accepted to explain the high consumption of these substances, which usually blames "cunning ploys" of the pharmaceutical industry or the hegemony of biological psychiatry in medicine. We believe that the answers are to be found in deeper analysis, and not simply on the demonization of this or that social actor considered isolated, and has since admitted that "in the consumption builds part of integrative and communicative rationality of a society" thus think consumption implies a focus subjects as consumers, individuals and citizens. Based on these considerations, we analyze the consumption of antidepressants by the viewpoint of the user by analyzing the content of a site very popular relationships in the Brazilian Internet, known as Orkut.
