In the social protection sector, the Government has adopted the Strategy of development of social protection for 2012-2014, which provides for deinstitutionalization of psychiatric institutions.18 But the Ministry of Social Development has not implemented the specified required activities. According to patients, one of the neuropsychiatric institutions, besides beatings, uses long-term isolation in a cell as a punishment. An exception is the “psycho drug” branch, which contains not more than 15 people in the department, and walks accompanied by staff are allowed. According to Article 30 (2) of the Law on “Psychiatric care,” measures of physical restraint and isolation with involuntary hospitalization and placement in a psychiatric hospital only apply in cases, forms and for the period of time, when, in the opinion of the psychiatrist, other methods cannot prevent actions of hospitalized persons, representing an immediate danger to himself/herself or others, and carried out under the constant supervision of medical staff. In most cases, patients of mental health services say that they are often subjected to prolonged physical restraint without food and opportunities to visit the toilet facilities, as a punishment, as well as the use of antipsychotic injections, as a result of which they are severely affected, as likely these drugs are used without offsets. According to Article 10 (3), medical equipment and methods are used only for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in accordance with the nature of painful disorders and should not be used to punish a person suffering from a mental disorder, or for the benefit of others. The Law on “Mental Health Service” establishes that all persons with mental disabilities, in the provision of mental health care, are entitled to humane respect, precluding humiliation of human dignity.
