Abstract

After the World War I Latvia proclaimed its independence. Following
the industrialization and urbanization, the attitude towards mental illness
and psychiatry began to change. Previously dominant home and commu-
nity care for mental illness was replaced by medical care in psychiatric
institutions. The request for institutionalized psychiatric care started to
grow rapidly. It was followed by ongoing expansion of inpatient treatment
facilities. Despite the efforts of state, local governments, psychiatrists and
the public to deal with problems in this area, access to psychiatric care
remained difficult throughout the entire period, with the hospitals them-
selves always having too many patients. This was mostly down to poorly
organized social care for psychiatric patients
