[Brain diseases and modern-day society].

Psychiatric diseases start frequently in childhood, affect from the life lasting view one half of the population and frequently result in disablement. Administrative of the World Health Organization and of European Union consider these problems highly important and require emancipation of psychically disabled, including the financial support for the care. Only 4% of the National Budget is directed to that sector in Czech Republic, which is the second lowest share (after Slovakia).
