"The number of people who
visited specialized (mental health) clinics since the start of 2022 reached
23,071, including 15,120 men and 7,951 women,” he added.
The center, he said, is divided into
two sections: judicial and non-judicial. The judicial section has a capacity of
142 beds, while the non-judicial section has 163 beds.
In regards to the judicial section, individuals
convicted through a court judge are diagnosed and referred to the center for
them to be diagnosed. The diagnosis also serves to prove if they are genuinely
suffering from psychiatric illnesses or are attempting to escape conviction.
The center, said Hadidi, has a large
team of doctors and specialists, in addition to five medical teams.
