In the Tyumen region, doctors register an increase in patients with mental disorders.

This is according to the Ministry of Health report for 2025, published this fall. According to these data, in 2025, for the first time in their lives, 4,228 patients sought help with a diagnosis of a mental disorder. Since 2023, this figure has increased by 29% (calculated per 100,000 inhabitants).

Most often, patients who sought help received diagnoses related to "mental disorders of a non-psychotic nature" - this complex term hides depression, neuroses and other psychological problems in which a person can function independently. In second place are psychoses and dementia conditions (13.4%), in third place is mental retardation (8.7%).

As the authors of the report point out, the problem also affected children and teenagers. Thus, among 4,228 people who got sick for the first time, only 1,469 were adults, and the rest were children and teenagers.

"A characteristic of the dynamics of primary morbidity is the growth of this index among children and teenagers, which is related to the early detection of mental illnesses by psychiatrists and doctors of other specialties," the document states.

The overall prevalence of mental disorders in the Tyumen region is also increasing.
