37 actions to ensure that mental disorders are less stigmatized and better cared for. Agnès Buzyn presents her Mental Health and Psychiatry roadmap. Detailed Review
Care pathways, accessible, quality offer
The mental health journey needs to be better structured to help identify disorders and access mental health care as soon as possible. To this end, the roadmap specifies the conditions for the implementation of Territorial Mental Health Projects (MTPs), which should allow all the stakeholders concerned (psychiatric sectors, primary care teams, territorial health professional communities, platforms support services, general practitioners and specialists, medical and social services and institutions, local authorities, etc.) to come together in territorial networks of partnerships, to structure a local health and social services offer, ensuring continuity of monitoring throughout
Because the excess mortality of people with severe mental disorders worsens continuously, while the life expectancy of the general population increases, there is need to encourage people living with disorders psychic to have a doctor. In the same way, actions of therapeutic education (ETP), aimed at promoting a better lifestyle and the detection of chronic diseases should be initiated. In the same vein, home-based intervention is an integral part of the organization of outpatient care within the scope of the sector psychiatry mission (future update of the CMP specifications). The recommended measures will therefore aim to keep the person in his ordinary living environment and thus facilitate his social and professional integration. The use of telemedicine will also be encouraged for vulnerable populations and in underdeveloped areas.
Several measures are also planned to revitalize psychiatry: opening a mental health internship during the 2nd cycle of medical studies and during the 3rd cycle of studies in general medicine, increase in the number of trained professionals (in particular PU-PH and heads of clinics in child psychiatry), better complementarity of the interventions of nurse, psychomotor, and speech therapist, development of research in psychiatry , training of advanced practice nurses in the field of mental health and psychiatry for an exercise, both in institutional and ESMS, and in the liberal field
Implementation of the action plan to reduce the use of care without consent and in particular the reduction of the use of isolation and restraint measures in institutions.
Social life and citizenship
The road map states: people with intellectual disabilities must be able to live in the middle of all, access and participate in the same activities as all, be and remain useful to others, with respect and the richness of their difference
. The question of employment is very important here, as we know that the unemployment rate of people with disabilities is much higher (21%) than that of the population as a whole (9.2%) and that they, the psychic handicapped are the most affected. It will therefore be necessary to deploy supported employment schemes throughout the territories must make it possible to obtain and keep a paid job in the labor market.
housing is equally important for the person with a psychic disability. In fact, the access and maintenance of persons in independent or badisted housing is another essential condition of their autonomy
. For this purpose they will benefit, besides the extension of the device a home first
access to the inclusive housing provided in the draft law Elan. Finally, stronger support will be provided to peer-support groups). Indeed, the recovery and involvement of people with severe and persistent mental disorders in the development and monitoring of their project life and health care are at the heart of psychiatry and mental health. Peer support is one of the recognized factors in recovery, and Mutual Aid Groups (GEMs) are one of the best known examples of peer support.
Agnès Buzyn will meet once a year under her Presidency, the CSSMP, whose 29 members representing various sensitivities and legitimacies, will be called upon to follow the measures taken.
