Introduction
The mental health care system in Ukraine is centralized and largely focuses on capacity for inpatient psychiatric treatment with 90% of funding allocated to inpatient psychiatric care at hospitals, much higher than countries who already have more decentralized care. Community-based mental health care options, including mental health provided at the primary health care level are currently limited or absent in the mental health system. Psychosocial support, as well as self-care and mental health promotion are also insufficiently developed. Covid-19 pandemic is serious challenge for health care system, especially for consultation liaison psychiatry.

Methods
HADS, SCL-90, HDRS, HARS

Model of early detection and management of mental disorders based on multidisciplinary teamwork principles, сombination of off-line and eye-to-eye methods of screening, monitoring and psychological counselling for patients and medical staff.
