This article focuses on the problem of psychiatry in modern society, its relation to people with mental disorders. The authors argue that the existing “form of psychiatry”, as a litmus paper, reflects the state of society and its problems, that society should unceasingly seek for a “better form” and not be satisfied with the existing one. The “possible forms” of social-oriented psychiatry aimed at re-socialization of people with mental disorders in the society are presented at the end of the article.
