Abstract summary 

Senegal participates in an international study on the development of mental cares. A district of 35,000 inhabitants has been selected for survey in order to evaluate the magnitude of the problem. A visiting team has been set up, with better efficiency and towards the distant psychiatric hospital. Another valuable experience is the so called "psychiatric village". It provides familial and social environment to the mental patients and avoids confinement in psychiatric hospital.
