Abstract:
The article is aimed at generalizing and comparing existing approaches to financing mental healthcare, as well as analyzing current trends in this area. The article is an overview and is based on recent research on this topic. The list of relevant articles was formed using content analysis in order to identify key approaches to mental health financing. The article considers the place of financing in the State policy concerning the field of mental health, analyzes the main sources and mechanisms of financing healthcare. The main advantages and disadvantages of basic financing models are considered. The existing financing systems are quite complex, which is influenced by both historical traditions and socio-cultural characteristics of countries, as well as peculiarities of mental illness: they are quite common, require long-term and expensive treatment, which requires interaction between healthcare systems and social support of the population. It is determined that there is no single optimal model for financing mental healthcare, but there are approaches that show better efficiency. For example, the system of pre-accumulation of funds is more efficient than an «out of pocket» paying for services. Also, public financing prevails over private financing in many respects. Most countries are reviewing existing approaches to the functioning and financing of the healthcare system. They move away from providing services based on psychiatric hospitals and transfer them to the level of individual communities, including them in the overall package of medical services. The low median level of public spending on mental health in the world remains a problem (especially in low- and middle-income countries). Prospects for further research are to analyze the current health financing system in Ukraine and the best foreign models that could be used as models for reforming the Ukrainian mental healthcare system.

Keywords: financing, healthcare, mental health.
