SOTO, Beatriz et al. The use of Psychiatric Drugs: An Integrative Review. NTQR [online]. 2021, vol.8, pp.880-889.  Epub 07-Dez-2021. ISSN 2184-7770.  https://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.8.2021.880-889.

The prescription of psychotropic and / or psychotropic drugs has increased significantly in recent years, with this class of medication being one of the most prescribed today. It is an integrative review of the literature in which the search was carried out in the VHL, selecting the databases LILACS and BDENF. Twenty journal articles published from 2009 to 2019 were analyzed, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The results show that the country with the greatest production of articles was Brazil and indicate that from young adults to the elderly, they are the main users of these drugs. Among the most prescribed psychotropic and / or psychotropic drugs are Clonazepam, Diazepam and Fluoxetine and the main prescribers are general practitioners. The situations in which these drugs are prescribed are complaints of anxiety and insomnia. Regarding the time of use of these medications, there is a prevalence of use between three to six years. It is concluded that the use of this class of drugs is highly prevalent, demonstrating the need for Continuing and Permanent Education in Mental Health to these professionals, emphasizing the rational use of these drugs.
