The Basque Governmentand Osakidetzahave reaffirmed this Friday, October 10, their commitment to comprehensive, close and specialized care for people with mental health problems in line withWorld Mental Health Day .\u00A0
In this context, Euskadi is a reference in the field of psychiatric care in the Spanish State , with a ratioof 15 psychiatrists per 100,000 inhabitants, which reflects the effort made in recent years in the public network to provide adequate mental health care.
As agreed in the Basque Country Health Pact, the Department ofHealth is working on a new proposal to strengthen the mental health network to present it before the end of the year. To this end, a multidisciplinary working group consisting of psychiatrists, psychologists, child psychiatrists, nurses and patients has been set up.
This group, in which state reference experts participate, analyses initiatives, shares experiences and aims to design tools and solutions to assist patients and their families in the process of mental health care and recovery.
Osakidetza developsstrategic projects in mental health care to address the complex problems of social impact , such as suicide prevention, intervention in early psychotic episodes or intensive early care of eating disorders.
In recent years, the reduction of stigma around mental illness has led togreater demand for care and greater collective awareness of the importance of caring for psychological well-being .
In short, Euskadi wants to continue to strengthen its commitment to ensuring mental well-being with closer attention and a long-term look where mental health goes from taboo to priority.
