The facts of our life in the early 2000-s themselves give rise to the concerns as far as the psychosocial circumstances create an unusual background for a new understanding of how mental and behavior disorders emerge and develop. From mechanisms of epigenetic imprinting, actuating in certain psychosocial circumstances, to the development of new technologies of mental distresses’ personalized therapy – a wide range of problems, uniting specialists from around the world, interested in the issues of preventive care, treatment and rehabilitation in mental medicine. The agenda involves – de-stigmatization of patients and community, the process of delivery of mental health services, mental disorders in general.
