MENTALLY DISTURBED OFFENDERS OF CRIME

V svoji diplomski nalogi sem predstavila problematiko duševnega zdravja v svetu, v Sloveniji in v družbi na sploh, tako s pravnega stališča, kot s stališča vsakdanjega življenja.Duševno zdravje ni pojem sodobnega časa, to je pojem, ki je star toliko, kot je staro človeštvo. Duševno zdravje opredeljuje človekovo notranje psihično stanje (kot je sreča, osebno zadovoljstvo, dobro počutje...), človekove odnose z drugimi ljudmi in njegovo delovanje( razumevanje drugačnosti, uspeh pri delu, v šoli, službi...) in navsezadnje je duševno zdravje tudi sposobnost človeka, da obvladuje svoje življenje ter se uspešno sooča z različnimi življenjskimi situacijami, nalogami, obremenitvami in težavami. Opredelitev pojmov kot so duševno zdravje, duševne motnje in duševne bolezni so predmet psihiatrije. Vendar je vsebina teh pojmov pomembna tudi za pravno področje, saj se ti pojmi nemalokrat uporabljajo tudi v pravni stroki.Za področje duševnega zdravja v Sloveniji, pomeni precejšen napredek nov Zakon o duševnem zdravju, ki je vstopil v uporabo 12.8.2009.Ta zakon sem v diplomi tudi podrobneje predtsavila.Vsekakor smo v Sloveniji potrebovali posebno pravno ureditev obravnavanega področja.Zanemarit ne smemo tudi številnih organizacij, ki se "borijo" za izboljšanje razmer v duševnem zdravju in se zavzemajo za pravice posameznikov z duševnimi težavami.Čeprav je bilo v zadnjih letih precej postorjenega za ljudi s težavami v duševnem zdravju, še delo ni končano.I have introduce in this diploma assignment the problematic issue of mental health in the World, in Slovenia and in general, from a legal point of view and from the standpoint of everday life. The concept of mental health is not just a concept of modern life, it is an ancient concept such as humanity itself. Mental health defines one\u27s inner psychological state (such as happines, personal satisfaction, feeling good...), relations with other people and how mankind operates (understanding differences, work success, success at school...). Mental health is also man\u27s ability to control his or her life and to successfully face up to different life circumstances, jobs, burdens and troubles.Psychiatry defines concepts such as mental health, mental disturbance and mental illness but those concepts are also important in the law, as they are often used in the legal profession.In Slovenia the new law abaut mental health has just become vaild and this is progressing in the department of mental health. Nevertheless Slovenia definitely needed special legal organization for discussed area. Also let us not forget a number of organizations that are "fighting" for improvement of mental health circumstances and are working for the individual rights of people with mental problems.Althrough a lot has been done in the past few jears for the people with mental health difficulties, the work is not finished jet
