The report also revealed that there is an incipient community involvement, the absence of family organizations or former patients and medicalization trend franca of all problems.

In Guayaquil there are some places where people with mental disorders can go for free to be addressed.

The Neurosciences Institute, the Guayaquil Welfare Board provides outpatient service for all types of treatments and hospitalization for patients with crisis. The cost depends on the economic situation of the patient.

To Diane Rodriguez, president of Silueta X, and project director of the Center for Lesbian and Transgender Health, the need to create a space where the group can go to be physically and psychologically is essential for development of people.

» Psychological abuse to which they are exposed our comrades often derived mental disorders that are very difficult to cope alone and to not have a space where they feel fully accepted , often prefer not to ask for help » Rodriguez tells .

The inauguration of Prime Medical Center primarily aimed at transsexuals and lesbians – and opening to the public in general – turned yesterday, with the presence of representatives of the Ministry of Public Health and the doctors who will be part of the medical team . It is located in Cordova 325 between Juan Montalvo and Padre Aguirre and care is free.

Another place where people can come with mental illness is to CDID , the Teaching and Research Center for Human Development and Good Living . This is an initiative of the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Guayaquil , where they serve various cases of mental disorders. The price varies depending on the socio- economic situation of the patient.

The Social Security Institute, IESS, has a department specializing in mental illness and access is free to the public.
