Abstract The research aimed to describe the health-disease-care process for users of a Psychological-social Care Center (CAPS). Five semi-structured interviews, recorded and transcribed in full, were carried out in the period of February and March of the year 2015. The results showed that the biomedical and biopsychosocial models emerged in the interviewees' speeches, especially when they talked about health, since the concept of disease was associated with suffering and social prejudice. The concept of care was meant as an act of responsibility of users, provided by the CAPS team and by medication. Based on these results, we propose a reflection on the mental health care practices anchored only in the biomedical model, which can produce, as in this study, users who have difficulty living in society with their disorders and who have drug therapy as a central element for their health care.
