This investigation exposed the degrading treatment and abuse of patients with mental health problems in psychiatric institutions. Issues highlighted include squatting, confinement, violence, poor-quality food, unsanitary conditions, and faulty infrastructure, remnants of the Soviet-era blockade on Georgian psychiatry. Former patients and human rights defenders shared their harrowing experiences with “Studio Monitor.” Numerous reports confirm that this issue is a systemic problem that the state has failed to address.
