The data was collected between April and May 2011, through semi-structured interviews, and was analyzed through the technique of content analysis. The strategies referred to were listening /conversing, use of psycho-pharmaceuticals, and containment. In relation to the factors which lead to the crisis, the following were identified: reasons related to the family, irregular use of medication and abstinence from drugs.
