Summary
Most mental health facilities were built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, based on the principle of "corridor" layout of the hospital premises, with little regard for the needs of psychological comfort. WHO forecasts indicate that after 2030, depression will become a leading disease globally. This will be facilitated by the fact that in low- and middle-income countries, 76 % to 85 % of people with severe mental disorders do not receive treatment [21, 23, 27, 31]. European countries are investing heavily in the reconstruction and construction of new-type psychiatric health care facilities for full-fledged psychological comfort for patients with mental disorders, and this issue has not been fully resolved in Ukraine [3, 19, 22, 29, 32]
