Abstrakt		Mental health services in Slovenia are predominantly institutional. Insurance resources are directed to psychiatric hospitals and out-patient clinics. Community services are social institutions developed in non-government sector without support and surveillance of medical profession, therefore the needs of their users can be only partly answered. It is necessary to the plan development of community services in order to restrain the increasing burden of mental health problems in psychiatric and general practice services and in community in general. Above all, it is urgent to improve availability, coordination and quality of care for patients with severe mental disorders. Mental health policy should follow recommendations of World Health Organisation and consider characteristics of our specific mental health situation and already developed community services.
Izvleček		V Sloveniji je skrb za ljudi z duševnimi motnjami pretežno institucionalna. Zdravstvena sredstva se usmerjajo v psihiatrične bolnišnice in njihove dispanzerje. Skupnostne službe so socialne ustanove, ki se pretežno oblikujejo v nevladnem sektorju brez podpore in nadzora zdravstvene stroke. Tako lahko le deloma odgovarjajo na potrebe bolnikov, ki so vanje vključeni. Razvoj služb za duševno zdravje v naši državi je potrebno načrtovati zaradi naraščajočih potreb na tem področju: naraščanja sprejemov v psihiatrične bolnišnice, povečevanje obiska v psihiatričnih ambulantah in naraščanje pregledov zaradi duševnih motenj v ambulantah osnovnega zdravstvenega varstva, predvsem pa zato, da se izboljša dostopnost, povezanost in kakovost služb za bolnike s hudimi in ponavljajočimi se duševnimi motnjami. Politika duševnega zdravja naj sledi priporočilom Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije in upošteva posebnosti našega okolja in dosedanjega razvoja skupnostnih služb.
