This thesis main objective was to understand, from the Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective, the instrumental use of the bond in the capitalist discourse, taking as a reference the proliferation of subjects that, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), fall into the category that encompasses the Bipolar Affective Disorder. We seek to build a critique around the diagnostic reason that supports and determines not only the diagnosis of the disorder, but also its increasing trivialization. We start from the idea that the popular discourse in the DSM, in its copulation with the capital, tries to frame the bond foreclosing the subject of desire, thus taking away from them the mere possibility of building a knowledge about their own uneasiness. We conceive the phenomenon of the proliferation of the bipolar disorder diagnostic as a fact in the social field that has impacts on the subject of desire and on the bonds they establish, working with the idea that the said propagation can be understood as a paradigm of the capitalist discourse. We discuss how the bipolar signifier, taken from the pseudoscientific discourse, arises as one of the masks of the subject's suffering in society and how the multiplication of that disorder disguises the scission between subject ($) and knowledge (S2) in the capitalist discourse. The present thesis aimed, above all, to restore not only the importance of the psychiatric clinic in the treatment of what is now called "mental disorders" (especially bipolar disorder), but also how psychoanalysis, addressed to the subject of desire (subject of the unconscious), stands in the context of a discourse dominated by the logic of the DSM. We understand that the diagnosis in psychiatry should be seen as an instrument rather than a goal, lest it will serve as a specialty in the service of standardization and capital, labeling subjects who escape a presumably well-established rule, more than actually work to reinsert these subjects into society
