SUMMARY:

Introduction: Recovery is understood within the field of mental health as a personal process in people with mental disorders, characterized by the development and construction of a meaningful life, despite the symptoms and their consequences. In the last decades, recovery has received a growing attention by the literature and mental health systems, especially for people with psychosis. However, there are no studies in Brazil that investigate how the recovery process occurs in people with depression.

Objective: This study aimed to understand the recovery process in people with depressive episodes within the context of Brazilian community mental health services. The study also aimed to identify factors that favor and hinder the recovery process in depression.

Method: A qualitative study was conducted, including sixteen users from the mental health outpatient clinic of city of São João del-Rei, with primary diagnosis of depression, participated in the study. Narratives were collected using a structured interview and analyzed through thematic analyses method.

Results: Results indicated that most of the themes were consonant with the domains of the CHIME framework, with “connection with significant others” and “empowerment” being the most reported aspects. “Social Support” and “spirituality” were identified as the two main facilitators of the recovery process. The main barriers were: social isolation, stigma, lack of understanding of other people about the loss of functionality resulting from the disorder and the absence of purpose or meaning in life.

Conclusion: These findings contributed to a better understanding of the recovery process in depression and types of supports needed by people with depressive episodes to build and live a meaningful life. Based on the recovery domains, facilitators and barriers identified by the sample and in line with the literature, it is possible to improve public services offered to people with depression. This can be done by influencing public policy and healthcare services development, increasing community awareness and promoting destigmatisation.
