Abstract

This article deals with problems in functioning of medical support system and social support and integration system addressed to persons with mental disorders in Poland on the example of Greater Poland Voivodeship. This voivodeship is representative as far as the mental health problems’ prevalence and the type of the most common mental disorders diagnosed among people are concerned. The local data reflect very similar tendencies as cross country and international analyses. Moreover, the analysis of the local system of support for people with mental disorders carried out by the authors of this article revealed that the inadequacies of the system reflect the tendencies observed in the cross country Polish scale. In this context, the recommendations formulated by the authors can be applied (with some necessary corrections) in different local environments.
