Mental disorders composesabout a third of the demand for Primary Health Care services, sectors responsible for about 60% of psychiatric patients, prescribing about 79% of all psychotropic drugs. Studies show an increase in the use of psychotropic drugs since the introduction of benzodiazepines and serotonin reuptake inhibitors, mainly because of the greater number of medications available on the market and diagnosis, lack of proactive review of indications and inconsistency between diagnosis, prescription and guidelines, socioeconomic and educational level, ethnicity and sex. The problem with this use is that the mortality and disability rates and the riskof developing chronic diseases in these users are higher than in the general population. The objective of this study was to analyze the use of psychiatric medications and the sociodemographic profile in chronic users of a health service in João Pessoa-PB.It was an observational, field, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, carried out with 44 users, of all genders, aged between 18and 80 years, from January to April 2022.
