Psychic Suffering Nowadays: from Gadgets to the Consumed Subject^*

This text aims to establish relationships between drugs and so-called gadgets from this social call to consumption whether they are objects in general, or drugs in particular. We carried out a bibliographic study using, mainly, books, articles, and dissertations referring to the subject with the intention to reach this objective. We also developed this research in three parts, which highlight the critical points of contemporary psychopathology. The first one deals with how the consumption of objects has become an object that consumes the subject. We then traced the legitimation of the subject "compressed" in the current discourse. Finally, we highlighted the gadgets and the new way of life for the contemporary people.
