Vouchers from the state, worth 3,000 lei, are given to Romanians suffering from the “disease of the century”. The project has already been approved.
The project was approved by the Constanța City Council since the end of January, but so far no one has submitted the file to benefit from the aid.
It is about one of the most serious diseases of this century, the “disease of the century” as it was called by specialists from the World Health Organization.
According to statistics, over 40 million people suffer from this condition in Europe alone, which means, practically, twice the population of Romania.
Neither our country nor the county and municipality of Constanța are doing well in this regard.

According to the data compiled by the County Health Insurance Office, in the period 2014-2020, the number of those registered with depression increased by almost 14%.
Thus, at the level of Constanța county, there are around 30,000 people registered with depression, of which almost 14,000 are women.
Constanta thus becomes the first city where this project is implemented.
The necessary steps for Romanians to receive 3,000 lei vouchers for depression
For this reason, the local administration in the municipality of Constanța decided to offer these vouchers worth 3,000 lei to those who suffer from depression and are obviously registered in the documents of the authorities.
Must have all documents in order. First of all, you need a medical letter from a specialist, which can also be the family doctor, as well as all other documents attesting to this disease.
In order to get possession of the money, they must meet several requirements: they must be domiciled in Constanţa, because we are talking about money from the local budget, they must be diagnosed by a specialist, and the income for each family member must be below 5,000 lei .
They are submitted to the Department of Social Assistance within Constanța City Hall, and the City Hall transfers this money, 3,000 lei, to the psychological office where the person in question is being treated.
The money would arrive for 10-15 sessions. Psychologists say that in some cases this money is enough, but there are also depressions that need many more sessions, but it is a start.
From year to year, experts say, the number of people suffering from depression is increasing.
