Celso Arango

Celso Arango is the president of the Comisión Nacional de la Especialidad de Psiquiatría and a notable expert in psychiatry in Spain. He has been critical of the government's approach to mental health planning, particularly regarding the recent suicide prevention strategy. Arango argues that while the philosophy of the plan may be sound, it requires adequate funding and realistic objectives to be effective, expressing concern that the proposed measures may ultimately worsen the existing mental health system without proper oversight and resources.
