Abstract

Aim. The aim of this study was to analyze the main problems of provision of mental health services in orphanages for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities in Russia.

Methods. A cohort cross-sectional study was conducted in 23 orphanages, in which 2853 pupils live.

Results. There was determined a structure of psychotic disorders among children of psycho-neurological orphanages. Prevalence of mental disorders among this group was: mild intellectual disability — 56 (1.96%) people, moderate intellectual disability — 967 (33.89%), severe intellectual disability — 1079 (37.82%), profound intellectual disability — 429 (15.04%). Clinical and psychopathological examination of 1730 pupils was carried out. The most prominent problems of psychiatric care in in orphanages for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities were identified as: inconsistency of the psychiatric diagnosis and the actual condition of the child — 289 (16.71%), a mismatch between the prescribed psychopharmacotherapy and the clinical picture — 378 (21.85%), polypharmacy — 344 (19.88%, or 35.61% of all receiving psychopharmacotherapy).

Conclusion. The necessity of developing non-pharmacological approaches in tackling the problems associated with the provision of mental health services in orphanages was shown.
