Psychiatry in remote areas – Health priority

2023-07-26 08:00:05

If psychiatric disorders are numerous within the population, health professionals taking care of them are becoming rarer, especially when one leaves the big cities, the capitals. The challenge is therefore to be able to enable the entire population to benefit from appropriate care in the field of psychiatry. Today in Priority Health, we give the floor to psychiatrists working in remote areas.

What specific issues do they have to deal with? ? How to treat when human resources are lacking ?
