In the contemporary world, the excessive use of medicines seems to be one of the expressive features of Western civilization, in which the persuasion prevails that malaise, as well as suffering of all kinds, must be eliminated at any cost. The use of psychotropics is essential in the treatment of some forms of mental disorders or psychiatric disorders, such as: anxiety, insomnia, depression, agitation, convulsion and psychosis. The objective was to examine the real reasons for the use of psychotropic drugs and what are the characteristics of the patients who employ them. This work deals with an integrative literature review and, for the elaboration of the same, some phases needed to be completed. Initially the choice of the theme was made and later the research question was formed; after this stage, the criteria for inclusion and exclusion of articles were established (sample selection); identification of the information to be highlighted from the selected articles; conducting the analysis of the results; ending with the discussion. The female sex is more perceptive in relation to the symptoms of diseases, therefore, they seek help earlier and are less resistant to the use of prescription drugs than men. Patients without a professional occupation have a higher prevalence of mental disorders. Alternative non-drug therapy could be approached for patients who provided depression, anxiety and insomnia disorders. Drug treatments for these disorders involve drugs that cause chemical dependency and side effects, and this most often leads people to treat themselves for long periods.
