Abstract
The pandemic weather tenaciously presents us with uncertainties that distress and at the same time make possible. For a long time, in Paraguay, the position of addressing the problems of mental suffering through the logics of confinement has been the majority. In this work we make an introduction about the notion of demanicomialization as an ethical-political paradigm. Then we raise possible core problems of our madhouse society.
Finally, we make several proposals for change at different levels for a demanicomial mental health policy, starting from the reference recorded by the psychiatrist of the referential reform of Trieste (Italy), Franco Basaglia: Freedom is therapeutic.
