Дедалі більше українців усвідомлюють необхідність професійної психологічної допомоги

This is evidenced by the experience of the Director General of the Dnipropetrovsk Multidisciplinary Clinical Hospital for the provision of psychiatric care Svitlana Moroz, as she said in a conversation with Ukrinform.

Moroz recognized that Soviet psychiatry left a lot of stigma, so psychologists are still biased.

"At first, I thought that especially the military would refuse assistance. But we are faced with the fact that more than 90% agree because they understand that they need help.

“If there was no war, if life was peaceful, they would live a normal, happy life. And now it's like a wound, but a wound to the soul," Moroz stressed.

"Our hospital received the ECNP Excellence Award - we were the first in the world to study virtual reality as a method of treating PTSD. The equipment was provided to us by the German Charité clinic," the professor said.

Context

She also informed that back in 2016, the clinic published the book "The War in Ukraine: the Pathomorphosis of Mental and Behavioral Disorders", in which the authors described how much the mental background in Ukraine had changed against the background of the war.

What's next

At the same time, she noted that these are data on her hospital and region, general data are not published. This also applies to another indicator: Dnipropetrovsk Multidisciplinary Clinical Hospital for the provision of psychiatric care, the number of patients has tripled in recent years, very many of them have unusual mental disorders, and disorders that arose as a result of the war.

Moroz, who is also a representative of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council, noted that Ukrainian doctors currently have vast experience, but, unfortunately, do not have the same equipment and technical capabilities as Europeans. They are trying to find equipment that is extremely difficult. Specialized equipment is provided by partners from Germany, the Czech Republic, the Baltic countries, France, etc.
