Como compreender o papel do Estado Democrático de Direito na proteção da dignidade da criança e do adolescente em relação à medicalização psiquiátrica

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the relationship between law and psychiatry, specifically in the core diagnostic, treatment and psychiatric medicalization of children and adolescents. Based on the concept of dignity proposed by Ronald Dworkin, aims to seek protective solutions for this segment of society, clarify about the (ir) responsibility of the democratic rule of law in relation to this issue and demonstrate that, similar atrocities committed in the asylums last century, we are allowing chemical castration of children and adolescents who behave analogously to those of diseases created by extremely falsifiable theories and whose "scientific" research was largely stimulated by the pharmaceutical industry. It discusses also the acceptance by law, without the slightest defense of posts on various criteria Sheikh times by critics as a parameter for the labeling of a child / teen as mentally ill.
