Experts urgently needed review the situation with the provision of medical care for mentally ill people. This is caused by the recent terrible tragedy that occurred in Nizhny Novgorod, where, according to investigators, the man schizophrenic killed his six children, wife and mother. This case raises the natural question of what could be done to prevent similar cases.

Newspaper Roux has published the opinion of the psychiatrist and writer Maxim Malyavina who believes that at the present time, the state and society do nothing can not. Soviet psychiatry was successfully collapsed, experts salary equated to workers performing low-skilled jobs. All this has led to what many experts simply left out of this sphere of activity. Almost a million Togliatti has only 12 psychiatrists district.

According to Malyavina with schizophrenia should be supervised. But he does not always want to go to the doctor, which creates additional difficulties. If earlier “refusenik” persisted in his unwillingness to appear to the doctor, and the symptoms are not permitted to allow this, the doctor can contact the district police officer for information about the behavior of the patient. Now the behavior of a mentally ill person is not interested in anyone, including the district – privacy was very convenient for all the wording.

Even if the patient requires hospitalization, and he miraculously agreed to it, does the black koykooborot case – the patient is discharged, regardless of its condition. At home, none of the patients not taking the drug.

These psychiatrists, not gone to other structures, try to avoid the tragedy of Novgorod, and the Ministry of Health will try to nearest public council to review the situation in the Russian psychiatry.
