Austria: a brief report

Int Rev Psychiatry. 2012 Aug;24(4):369-70. doi: 10.3109/09540261.2012.699451.

Abstract

In spite of a large population base, Austria spends around 11% of gross domestic product on healthcare for its citizens. Psychiatric services include both inpatient services and community-based services, and the government has initiated many educational programmes. The government has a mental health plan which is the responsibility of the state rather than the federal government, and has a recent suicide prevention programme.
