The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a new guide urging countries to shift from institutionalized mental health care to community-based, person-centered services. The WHO emphasizes that nearly half of those with mental health problems hospitalized in psychiatric institutions remain there involuntarily for months, years, or even decades. The guide, released on World Mental Health Day, focuses on reducing psychiatric hospital admissions and long stays, changing institutional practices to protect people’s rights, and helping people leave hospital and return to community life with the necessary support.
