The shifting interest of modern psychiatry to population and environmental studies is largely due to the preventive orientation of modern medicine, which sets as its main goal not the detection of early signs of disease, but the establishment of the state of health of the examinees and the prevention of the emergence and development of diseases. Among mental illnesses, borderline neuropsychiatric disorders, which account for up to 80% of all pathology, take first place. It is important that patients with borderline neuropsychiatric diseases rarely go to a psychiatrist on their own and do not receive timely skilled care from specialists, which leads to the aggravation of their condition and disability.
