Abstract:
The deinstitutionalization process led to radical changes in psychiatric policies and clinical practice through community psychiatry. However, despite the closure of mental asylum units, the drastic reduction of beds in psychiatric institutions and the placement of psychiatric services within the community, marginalization, social exclusion and prejudice still remain the cause of new suffering for people affected by mental disorders. The main barriers to addressing people with mental health problems are the complexity of providing support, especially after the pandemic and the recent events related to the war, where there is a higher incidence of mental disorders in the population, which leads to a innovative view on mental illness.
