Schizophrenia and psychosis top cases at mental health center
The report from the National Center for Mental Health states that schizophrenia and psychosis disorders are at the forefront of cases being followed up in 2025, with an increasing demand for specialized treatment and mental health care services. It highlights that the ministry has expanded its network of clinics, now including 73 clinics distributed across all governorates, in addition to providing 458 beds within the center and its affiliated departments. The occupancy rates are notably high, reaching 83.4% at the main hospital in Al-Huwaisat and 100% in the forensic psychiatric department, reflecting the growing need for mental health treatment and rehabilitation. Schizophrenia and psychosis disorders involve persistent mental effects that impact thinking and emotions. Globally, the prevalence of anxiety and depression disorders is rising, driven by genetic, biological, and psychosocial factors, particularly under difficult circumstances and wartime conditions. The report emphasizes that increased community awareness and improved mental health services have led to a higher demand for treatment, supported by the nearly free provision of psychiatric medications to ensure effective care and facilitate access to services.
