In 2023, the density of practising psychiatrists in France was at the same level forecasted for 2024 to 2026, standing at 230 per 100,000 persons. An increase is projected for 2027, reaching 240 per 100,000 persons, and this level is expected to continue into 2028. This indicates a steady phase from 2024 to 2026 with a noticeable increase in 2027, reflecting growth. Over these five years, year-on-year changes are negligible initially but show a 4.35% increase in 2027.
Future trends to watch include potential factors influencing the increase in psychiatric professionals, such as healthcare policy changes, enhanced education or training programs, and evolving societal mental health needs. Monitoring these factors can provide insights into the ongoing rise in psychiatry density.
