Mental Health & Wellbeing
CPME Rapporteurs: Dr Jacques DE HALLER (CH) & Dr Péter ÁLMOS (HU)
CPME Secretariat: Mr Markus KUJAWA
The immense burden of disease created by mental illness, and depression in particular, is a continuous focus of CPME action. We have focused on the specific implications of mental health in various thematic contexts, including workplace settings, in relation to the medical profession itself, and most lately, in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. The need to eradicate stigmatisation of mental illness is a priority in all policies. CPME also highlights the need to mainstream mental health in all policy action relating to health, including employment and social policies, and to increase awareness for co-morbidity of mental and physical illness.
CPME Policy on Gambling and Gaming
The policy urges policymakers to take action to address the growing public health crisis posed by gambling and gaming. It warns that the rapid expansion of online platforms, combined with aggressive marketing and addictive design features, is driving harmful behaviours across Europe, particularly among young people.
