Forty-four thousand p[eople have mental disorders or similar problems
in Armenia, Armen Soghoyan, President of the Armenian Psychiatric
Association, told journalists on Thursday.
He noted that mental disorders can be treated with few exceptions. "In
some cases, however, people turn to doctors too late, which is the
reason for serious treatment problems. In rare cases, treatment is
impossible," Soghoyan said.
He also pointed out the need for society to treat mentally sick people
as "normal people."
"Mental disorders are also the result of economic crises, with males
mostly affected as bread winners," the doctor said.
After being treated, people that once had mental disorders can live
a normal social life, Soghoyan said.
