Mental Health
Between the soul and the human body there are complex relationships that create a single whole. Just as there are disturbances in the work of the body that interfere with a person and make it difficult for him to function, sometimes mental disorders or diseases occur that also complicate a person’s normal activity. These disorders can occur for many reasons, some may be one-time and transient, and some may last for a long time and require long-term treatment.
Although sometimes people with a mental disorder are perceived as those whose behavior is difficult to understand or predict, usually with the right treatment, they can continue to be part of society, like any other person suffering from a medical problem. Therefore, the labels that society tends to hang on such people, or their discrimination, cause them suffering and erect unjustified obstacles in their path.
Mental Health Reform In 2012, a mental health reform began under the statutory health insurance decree of 2012 issued by the Minister of Health, which aims to shift the responsibility for providing mental health services from the Ministry of Health to the Health Insurance Funds.
These changes will soon lead to the creation of a unified system offering the treatment of physical illnesses and mental crises through health insurance funds. Over the years, we have learned that crises and depression can develop within a few years into the most common factor in the medical world that limits the functioning of a person.
