Treatment was provided through the primary health care system, with each health centre having its own mental health care team. However, in the process of psychiatric reform and deinstitutionalization, dedicated community centres had to be established, in accordance with the National Strategy for the Development of Mental Health Care. The first community-based mental health centre opened in the southern area of Serbia in 2005 and subsequently, other centres were established. The centres are organized independently of psychiatric hospitals and are located in local, self-government units, providing psychosocial treatment and the continuation of mental health care. In relation to the ongoing reform of psychiatry in the country, there are positive and negative issues. There are 41.41 beds per 100,000 of the population in psychiatric hospitals and 18.33 beds per 100,000 of the population in the psychiatric departments of general hospitals. Day hospitals, established throughout the country, provide patients with good quality care. Mental health care professionals are educated to a high standard and integrative, person-centred treatment is applied in most services. However, the level of stigma directed towards those with mental illness is still high and constitutes a barrier to treatment. Well-developed screening and early detection programmes to identify persons requiring mental health care are lacking, as are the records of patients with mental disorders. The future goal is to further reduce the number of beds in psychiatric hospitals, establish new community mental health care services throughout the country and ensure the prevention of mental disorders, as well as mental health promotion.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Основы оказания внебольничной психиатрической помощи населению были разработаны в Сербии в 1982 году в Институте психического здоровья в Белграде. Лечение обеспечивалось посредством первичной медицинской сети, при этом в каждом медицинском центре функционировала своя собственная группа специалистов в области психического здоровья. Однако в процессе реформы психиатрии и деинституционализации необходимо было создать специализированные территориальные центры в соответствии с Национальной стратегией развития психиатрической помощи. Первый территориальный центр внебольничной психиатрической помощи открылся в южной части Сербии в 2005 году, после чего были открыты и другие центры. Центры создаются отдельно от психиатрических больниц и располагаются в территориальных единицах местного самоуправления. В их задачу входит обеспечение психосоциального лечения и дальнейшее оказание психиатрической помощи. Что касается проводимой в стране реформы психиатрии, она имеет и положительные, и отрицательные стороны. Обеспеченность коечным фондом в психиатрических больницах составляет 41,41 койки на 100 000 населения, а в психиатрических отделениях больниц общего профиля 18,33 койки на 100 000 населения. В дневных стационарах, созданных по всей стране, пациентам предоставляется медицинская помощь должного качества. Специалисты в области психического здоровья имеют высшее образование, и в большинстве служб проводится комбинированная персонализированная терапия. Однако уровень стигматизации лиц, страдающих психическими заболеваниями, все еще остается высоким и создает препятствие для проведения лечения. Отсутствуют либо недостаточны должным образом разработанные программы скрининга и раннего выявления лиц, нуждающихся в психиатрической помощи, равно как и учет пациентов с психическими расстройствами. Последующие цели заключаются в дальнейшем сокращении количества коек в психиатрических больницах, создании новых внебольничных служб по оказанию психиатрической помощи по всей стране, а также в обеспечении профилактики психических расстройств и укреплении психического здоровья.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>community mental health care</kwd><kwd>mental health care centre</kwd><kwd>mental disorders</kwd><kwd>reform of psychiatry</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>внебольничная психиатрическая помощь</kwd><kwd>центр психического здоровья</kwd><kwd>психические расстройства</kwd><kwd>реформа психиатрии</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Tosevski DL, Gajic SD, Milovancevic MP.
