    The black hole of the transition process : dropout of care before transition age in adolescents

    Recent evidence confirms the risks of discontinuity of care when young people make a transition from child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) to adult mental health services (AMHS), although robust data are still sparse. We aimed to identify when and how patients get lost to care during transition by tracking care pathways and identifying factors which influence dropping out of care during transition. This is a retrospective observational study of 760 patients who reached the transition age boundary within 12 months before transition time and being treated at CAMHS for at least during preceding 18 months. Data were collected at two time points: last visit to CAHMS and first visit to AHMS. Socio-demographic, clinical and service utilization variables on CAMHS treatment were collected. In the 12 months leading up to the transition boundary, 46.8% of subjects (n = 356) withdrew from CAHMS without further contact with AHMS, 9.3% withdrew from CAHMS but were referred to AHMS by other services, 29% were transferred from CAHMS to AHMS, 10% remained at CAHMS and 5% patients were transferred to alternative services. Fifty-six percent of subjects experience cessation of care before the transition age. The risk of dropout increases with shorter contact time in CAMHS, is greater in subjects without pharmacological treatment, and decreases in subjects with psychosis, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, mental retardation, and neurodevelopmental disorders. This study confirms that a large number of people drop out of care as they approach the CAMHS transition and experience discontinuity of care during this critical period

    Malestares y patologías menores en una consulta de salud mental: biomedicina y subjetividad en tiempos de crisis

    El objetivo de la investigación ha sido analizar cómo actúa la denominada medicalización de los malestares sociales, o qué efectos tiene esa intervención pública del malestar en términos de subjetivación, en el contexto de un barrio madrileño fuertemente golpeado por la crisis. La principal conclusión del trabajo es que la intervención psiquiátrica y psicológica operan de manera simultánea porque el tipo de self que ambas proponen se corresponde con la subjetividad neoliberal que sostiene las nuevas formas de gubernamentalidad, que se basan en un individuo autónomo y responsable que debe ser capaz de autogobernarse. Entre los riesgos o los problemas de esta intervención, en un contexto como el del barrio estudiado encontramos cierta culpabilización de los pacientes por su situación social, un cortocircuito de las posibilidades de denuncia y de resistencia, un mayor aislamiento y la cronificación del malestar mediante la sensación de vulnerabilidad. En la tesis se recogen también a modo de propuesta una serie de alternativas a la intervención biomédica del malestar, que no insisten en los sentimientos de vulnerabilidad y responsabilidad de los pacientes. Se trata de una serie de experiencias concretas que parten del reconocimiento de la condición social del malestar para mostrar que otras subjetividades son posibles
