Mental health legislation in Bulgaria – a brief overview
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
Bulgaria has never had a separate law on mental health. Issues such as mandatory treatment, guardianship and legal capacity were regulated in the People's Health Act, which was in force until 2005, when it was replaced by a new Health Act. That Act has a chapter relating specifically to mental health, and this article describes its provisions.
