“…According to a study in Spain, increase in unemployment had a decrease in mental health demand while increased living cost had a weakly positive correlation (García et al, 2014). On the other hand, another study in Greece (a country that was heavily affected by the economic crisis) shows that despite the fact that new cases decreased, there was a rise in the waiting time of new cases and the number of sessions of old cases (Pikouli et al, 2019).…”

“…Findings are consistent with a previous study supporting that rise in mental health conditions, mainly leading to increased suicide mortality rates, are linked to the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 affected many eastern Asian countries, due to increase in unemployment rates (Uutela, 2010). Regarding the demand of mental health services, a study in Greece suggests that the old cases have a need for more sessions while there is an increase on waiting time for new sessions (Pikouli et al, 2019). However, another study in Spain does not agree with these findings suggesting that there was a decrease (García et al, 2014).…”

“…Moreover, CRT treatment appears to elicit higher levels of patients’ satisfaction. Given the constant increase in psychiatric morbidity within the Greek population, as a consequence of the recent economic crisis (Economou et al, 2016 ; Kentikelenis et al, 2014 ; Pikouli et al, 2019 ) and the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic (Fountoulakis et al, 2021 ), the need for radical reforms in the national mental health system is imperative. Under these circumstances, we consider that the CRT services in Greece should be seriously considered for acute psychiatric episodes as a promising alternative to hospitalization.…”

“…Παράλληλα, η μη επαρκής κάλυψη των αναγκών από το υπάρχον κοινοτικό δίκτυο υπηρεσιών ψυχικής υγείας, οι συνέπειες της πρόσφατης οικονομικής κρίσης με την υποστελέχωση των δημοσίων υπηρεσιών και την αδυναμία προσφυγής στον ιδιωτικό τομέα, οδήγησαν μεγάλο αριθμό ασθενών σε μη επαρκή ψυχιατρική παρακολούθηση με αποτέλεσμα την αύξηση των αναγκών σε νοσηλεία και δη των ακούσιων νοσηλειών. [4][5][6][7] Σε κάθε περίπτωση όμως, η διαχείριση των κρίσιμων ή οξέων φάσεων των σοβαρών ψυχικών διαταραχών και το επακόλουθο πρόβλημα της «περιστρεφόμενης πόρτας» με τους ασθενείς να παραμένουν στην κοινότητα κατά την περίοδο της σταθεροποιημένης φάσης της διαταραχής τους και να νοσηλεύονται κάθε φορά που υποτροπιάζει η συμπτωματολογία τους, παραμένει ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα προβλήματα που αντιμετωπίζουν διεθνώς οι πολιτικές για τη δημόσια ψυχική υγεία. 8 Για την κοινοτική ψυχιατρική, η ανθρωπιστικά αποδεκτή όσο και η αποτελεσματική παροχή βοήθειας κατά την οξεία φάση μιας ψυχωσικής ή άλλης σοβαρής ψυχικής διαταραχής ήταν ανέκαθεν μια μεγάλη πρόκληση.…”
