Our Values

Alleviating the suffering of all our fellow human beings who turn to us, and helping to restore their mental health is our vocation.Patients and those suffering from mental crisis conditions have the right to the highest available level of treatment, which is why, in addition to making full use of our infrastructural possibilities, we work with all our efforts to establish scientific foundations for our activities, and to achieve continuous development. Constant development shapes our image and gives us stability. All our developments serve to improve the mental health of the people living in our care area, but in addition, we constantly publish our results, so that our work is checked and evaluated by the professional environment. We consider it extremely important to integrate psychiatry as deeply as possible into the cooperation of the partner professions, therefore we believe in the need for close consultative work, joint education, dissemination of knowledge, and joint research. We are enthusiastic and agile, committed to our profession. We work shoulder to shoulder as a community, our motto is: ‘As a member of the team, I cannot do less than the others’.

Our Mission

We have set ourselves the task of developing good practices based on systematic research in the field of screening and preventive intervention of serious mental syndromes, as well as the accurate identification of suicidal crisis states. Our goal is to carry out research and educational work in the field of dietary interventions focusing on brain metabolism in national psychiatric care.
