Rezumat

Georgia has recently made a commendable effort to reform mental health care. The “Concept on Mental Health Care” adopted by the Government and the two strategic plans for 2014–2020 and 2021–2031, which aimed to develop comprehensive, evidence-based, culturally appropriate, and human rightsoriented mental health care, have promoted the deinstitutionalization and development of community mental health services. Since 2018, new standards of care for mental health ambulatories and mobile teams have been imposed and implemented in the state program and funded accordingly. The recent epidemiological survey of the Georgian population showed that at least 5% face severe mental health problems at any time. Rates of 12-month major depressive disorders or generalized anxiety disorders are in the range of what has been reported in most European countries or lower, and rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts are much higher. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis and other drug usage require attention, especially among males. The 2022-2030 mental health strategic plan is focused on the following significant priorities: • Create comprehensive mental health services for children and adolescents. • Integrate mental health in the primary health care system. • Prioritize deinstitutionalization and community care. • Support isolated communities by developing digital services. • Address stigma and enforce patients’ rights. • Facilitate the integration of narcology into the mental health system. • Provide adequate human resources.
