METHODS We included 61 patients treated in CEAAD from 2014 to 2018. The data were collected from medical records. Using as criteria the abandonment of treatment, patients were separated into two groups: A = quick abandonment and B = gradual abandonment. RESULTS In both groups there was a predominance of young adult women, living alone, with incomplete primary school and unemployed. For mild and moderate to severe degree of dependence was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in groups A and B. CONCLUSION Involving women in their bio psychosocial midst is a way to offer better treatment, as well as better investments in prevention. This research showed that patients were generally young adults, alone and unemployed. The level of severe dependence prevails in the population studied.
