The main body of Jelgava Psychiatric Hospital, in which I spent my week, consists of 14 or so adult and psychogeriatric and two child psychiatric wards. It was built about ten years ago. An alcohol and drug abuse unit, an out-patient department, and a small day hospital catering mostly for the ‘neuroses’ are found near-by.
