New Treatments

It is tempting to suppose that changes in the mental illness service in one's own part of Europe are taking place elsewhere as well. The asylum era is drawing to a close, and politicians everywhere are closing mental illness beds in order to re-distribute health costs in order to pay for new treatments needing expensive technology, as well as to allow for the needs of a population that is now living longer.In an attempt to become independent of official figures, key figures with a reputation for epidemiological psychiatry were approached in each European country, and asked to complete a brief questionnaire describing the mental health services in their country. Whether this method produces figures that are more or less accurate than official government figures is a question that cannot be addressed at present.
