Introduction: The childhood schizophrenia is a rare and serious phenomenon, having as main characteristic, pre-pubertal psychotic symptoms1-3. It occurs in less than 1/40,000 children1-2 in an insidious and progressive way. However, pre-morbid scenarios are observed, such as: social isolation; motor and verbal delay; attention deficit, aggression and food refusal1-4. Considering the clinical alterations that may be associated with psychopathology and/or the use of psychotropic drugs, in some cases hospitalization is necessary to treat such symptoms. The psychiatric beds proposed for General Hospitals tend to break with the asylum, reduce the stigma of mental illness, cease the mind / body dichotomy proposed by the Cartesian model, and effect the Public Policy on Mental Health in Brazil. Objectives: To report a case of childhood schizophrenia associated with the clinical repercussions triggered by basic psychopathology. To expose the importance of the process of networking and health care in a comprehensive way within the General Hospital, based on the National Mental Health Policy. Description: Adolescent, 17 years old, pre-diagnosed with schizophrenia, in irregular treatment. Presented 10 days ago: food and water refusal, social isolation, aggression and insomnia. She was admitted to the CAPSI where Haldol Decanoato was administered and referred to the hospital to correct hydroelectrolytic disorders. Conclusion: It is expected to determine a variable that understands the basic condition of psychiatric patients, and elucidates the coexistence of organic pathophysiological processes.  to emphasize the importance of integrating the objectives of the Psychiatric Reform in the therapeutic follow-up of patients in this evolutionary context.
