Public attitude toward people with mental problems has noticeably changed, chairman of the Armenian Psychiatric Association Armen Soghoyan told the reporters on Friday.
Soghoyan, who is also honorary member of World Psychiatric Association, stressed that all mental problmes are being solved.
"Though there is a certain attitude toward people with mental issues, there are serious positive changes during the past 20 years," he said.
Soghoyan stressed the number of people making use of psychiatric services has comparatively increased but there are still people who do not apply to doctor.
Head of Psychology chair of Yerevan State Medical University Khachatur Gasparyan said when people feel pain in kidney, or have cardiovascular issues they apply to doctors while in case of mental diseases they do not.
August 29-31, 2013 Yerevan will be declared center of presentation of world psychiatric achievements.
