Between 2024 and 2028, the forecast shows a consistent decline in hospital discharges for mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of other psychoactive substances in Germany. With values decreasing from 102.5 to 97.5 per 100,000 persons, there is a clear downward trend signifying a potential improvement in public health outreach and substance abuse management. Year-on-year percentage decreases indicate a gradual decline, approximately averaging 1.25% annually, suggesting effective ongoing intervention measures.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of policy changes focusing on mental health infrastructure and preventive measures, shifts in public awareness, and possible emerging substances influencing hospitalization rates.
