The data were analyzed by Content Analysis using the techniques of Thematic Analysis and Analysis of Enunciation. Two categories were extracted: (1) Conceptions and causalities: between the concrete of theory and the abstract of experience; which discusses the silencing of the experience before the theory that ends up prevailing when one seeks to know what mental illness. (2) Invisibility revisited or exclusion as a rule in which the invisibility of madness reappears in the form of false madness.
