Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases in the United States are a major cause of Americans becoming disabled. IN in turn, in the first place among these diseases – neuropsychiatric disorders. Shared this information at the Washington Health Summit that was organized by The Atlantic National Institute Director US Mental Health Thomas Insel. According to him, mental deviations annually cause a huge amount suicides. Annually in the USA voluntarily die 37 thousand people, which is twice the number of murders in country, and exceeds the number of victims of road accidents. “The mental problems of our populations are a very big problem for our entire system health care. This aspect needs more attention and study, ” – Insel emphasized. Roger Ray, a network of institutions Health Care in South and North Carolina Carolinas Health Care System, referring to the audience of the summit, assured everyone the fourth of those present in the audience at some stage of their a psychiatric diagnosis will be made. Ray emphasized that US should pay much more attention to the problem mental health. He also talked about what innovations his organization uses in order to achieve this goal. The Carolinas Health Care System, according to Roger Ray, uses new technologies in an attempt to prevent suicide among their patients. By specially installed webcams the central office organizations connected with all emergency services, where there are those who could potentially commit suicide. The office has a team of psychologists who are face to face (virtually) talk with patients, trying to quickly figure out with their problems and suggest solutions. Psychiatrist Barbara Van Dalen supports this approach. She is the founder of a non-governmental Give an Hour organization. As part of this initiative Van Dalen calls on his colleagues on a regular basis for free devote an hour of his working time to the one who is most at it needs. According to Dr. Van Dalen, who in 2010 Women’s Day magazine poll named one of 50 “women who changed the world”, one of the categories is especially acute those in need of such help are those who return to peace life after military service. “The military are more likely to die from us suicides than not a battlefield, “said Van Dalen, citing post-traumatic syndrome as an example of the reasons pushing people to suicide. Specialist in a separate category will single out women military who, contrary to common beliefs no longer suffer from post-traumatic syndrome, but from the so-called “sexual military trauma” received from own colleagues. Theorists and practitioners gathered at summit, agreed that, this issue should be resolved by “everyone “, given that the problems of the spirit are not inferior in importance body problems that the U.S. healthcare system can address adapted, as it turned out, is somewhat better.
