Abstract

Cilj ovog preglednog rada je prikazati povezanost mentalnog zdravlja i siromaštva. Siromaštvo se smatra jednim od ključnih socijalnih problema današnjeg svijeta. Mentalno zdravlje sastavni je dio općeg zdravlja populacije i dobrobiti te pridonosi kvaliteti funkcioniranja pojedinaca, obitelji i zajednica. U radu se osvrćemo na značenje i definiranje siromaštva. U 21. stoljeću dogodile su se brojne negativne promjene poput recesije, porasta stope nezaposlenosti te drastičan pad životnog standarda. Prema mnogim istraživanjima siromaštvo je jedan od uzroka psihijatrijskih poremećaja. Skreće se pozornost na osobe oboljele od duševnih bolesti i brojne teškoće s kojima se susreću u svakodnevnom životu, a koje su usko povezane sa siromaštvom. Također, u radu se nastoji prikazati značajna društvena diskriminacija i stigma s kojom osobe s duševnim smetnjama svakodnevno žive.
