Early intervention in mental health reduces chronicity and drug abuse.

Neuropsychologist Óscar Pino stated on October 10 in Logroño that early intervention in mental health is essential to prevent chronic conditions and the over-prescription of medication. According to data provided, nearly 30 percent of the Spanish population is expected to experience a mental health disorder during their lifetime.

Young people and women were identified as the most vulnerable demographics regarding mental health challenges. The findings emphasize that timely clinical attention serves as a critical strategy for improving long-term patient outcomes and reducing reliance on pharmaceutical treatments.
