Abstract:

The authors had analyzed current approaches and results of the evaluation of the economic burden of mental health in the world derived from foreign research in 2000-2010. Sources of information were publications of the WHO database and the WHO regional offices, the database of the National Library of Medicine U.S. "MedLine", archives of publications by leading foreign medical journals in the field of mental health. The burden of mental illnesses, especially depression and anxiety disorders, has been increasing in all regions of the world. It has been shown that obtaining reliable estimates of mental health in modern conditions is only possible on the basis of reliable epidemiological, clinical and social/economic data which requires the development and improvement of mental health services as well as relevant social, public and private entities.
