Impact of economic crisis on mental health

• „The health sector cannot achieve good mental health alone. The determinants of mental health are often outside the remit of the health system, and all government sectors have to be involved in promoting mental health.” (s. 4)

• “Policy choices determine whether the economic recession will significantly affect mental health outcomes. Recent data suggest that active labour market programmes, aimed at helping people retain jobs and quickly regain employment, along with family support measures, restrictions in alcohol availability, debt relief programmes and access to mental health-related services can be effective in preventing or mitigating adverse effects of recession on mental health.” (s. 8)

• “Current research suggests that the mental health effects of economic crises depend on action in five key areas: 1. active labour market programmes, 2. family support programmes 3., control of alcohol prices and availability, 4. primary care for the people at high risk of mental health problems, 5. debt relief programmes.” (s. 10-11)
