Described by the World Health Organization, health is not only physical stability and lack of illness, but also mental and social well-being. This being said, mental health is a vital component of many people’s functioning, everyday lives; however, a large portion of people with mental health complications do not receive treatment, or treatment is not adequate, for their conditions. In Algeria, although they have several pieces of legislation that address mental health, the implementation of these pieces remain unsatisfactory and do not meet healthcare providers needs. The effects of mental health disorders seen on the country of Algeria, it is evident that we need to devise a system or piece of legislation that addresses and follows through with the wholesome treatment of healthcare. Amendment of the current mental health law is required to supplement the delivery of care and also to protect those with a mental disorder. Thus, we refuse to comply with any piece that increases the amount of people that are affected by their mental health condition or any piece that does not address the problem.
