Abstract
This paper aims at defining some problems that are present in the prescribing of psychotropic drugs in general practice. An important proportion of the patients in the primary care have psychological and/or clear psychiatric disorders; therefore it is necessary for the general practitioners to understand their needs, but also overuse or misuse of psychoactive drugs. The rational use is discussed and some considerations and instructions are stated.
