Resumo(s)
Mental disorders affect a substantial proportion of our society and the importance of mental health became an even hotter topic after the Covid-19pandemic resulted in social isolation. For most national health care systems, being understaffed and underfinanced are key defining characteristics. Pharmaceuticals tend to be overprescribed and in depth face-to-face cognitive-behavioural therapy remains reserved mostly for those able to afford it. Alpha-Stim® medical technology is an innovative approach recognized by the American and British national health services a like. Thus, a cost analysis was performed to assess if a nation wide implementation as a second-line modality is economically sound also in Slovenia.
