It is necessary to determine the status of the patient in establishing legal relations with the medical institution and to guarantee his human rights. The issue of guaranteeing the rights of patients with mental disorders has become particularly acute, which has led to the relevance of this study. For this reason, the purpose of the article is to. Caracas, 5 April 2017 (PAHO/WHO) – Venezuela`s National Human Rights Plan 2016-2019 includes the drafting of a mental health law for which the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the Regional Office of the World Health Organization (WHO), is cooperating with the advice of International Advisor Hugo Cohen. Psychiatrists working in collaboration with the team of the National Council for Human Rights, the Deputy Ministry of Collective Health of the Ministry of People`s Power for Health and a network of experts composed of academics, scientific societies and other national authorities for enforcement. “The main purpose of the law is to include mental health as another area of health care. Everyone has the right to be cared for in their community and to be actively involved in their daily lives. This is a paradigm shift. Currently, the mental disorder is adopted with shame, anxiety or end in a psychiatric hospital, which usually worsens the person`s situation,” says Cohen, a mental health expert with PAHO/WHO. PaHO and WHO recommendations are aimed at the person`s attention in their daily lives, using advanced methods that allow for effective recovery. This is the inclusion of mental health in the primary care network, in general hospitals, with beds for hospitalization if necessary, and the availability of psychotropic drugs for rational use. This involves training health workers with tools for their approach.
“To the extent that the health care team is trained and given tools to intervene, including expert advice, the stigma that exists around mental health care can be changed,” Cohen says. Data published by WHO show that serious mental disorders, including alcohol, depression, psychosis, epilepsy, dementia, Parkinson`s disease, other drug use, childhood and adolescent disorders, are the main public health problem. Hence the importance of a mental health law that ensures the state of well-being of the person so that he can realize his abilities and cope with the normal stress of life, work productively and contribute to his community. In the countries of the Americas, between 70 and 85 per cent of people with mental disorders do not receive care. The discussion of Venezuela`s mental health law rightly emerges during the year dedicated by whom to mental disorders, whose motto for World Health Day 2017 is “Let`s Talk About Depression,” and will contribute to the inclusion of mental health issues in the country`s health centers. One of the advantages of Venezuela is the possibility of including mental health in the Barrio Adentro and Negra Hipólita missions, among others. The Mental Health Act is the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, signed by the Venezuelan government at the United Nations headquarters in New York in 2006. “The law states that every person is capable until proven otherwise, regardless of the diagnosis they have,” Cohen said.
