Pediatric Psychiatry
Over the past three decades the numbers of brain physicians have been steadily increasing, psychiatrists more so than neurologists. By the end of 2002, 893 certified psychiatrists were registered which corresponds to roughly one psychiatrist per 9.000 inhabitants. Mental illnesses which remain untreated can lead to various other problems like unemployment, family breakdown, homelessness and suicide. The burden of these problems extends beyond the individual to family and friends. In Europe, the second cause of disability-adjusted life years is mental illness or Neuropsychiatric disorders. About 27% of the adult population had experienced at least one of a series of mental disorders which includes problems arising from substance use, psychosis, depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Mental illness affects people of all ages, with a significant impact on many young people.
