Mental health in the Plurinational State of Bolivia

Abstract

Bolivia is a multicultural country located in the heart of South America. Neighbouring countries include Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile. It is a large nation, with an area of nearly 1100000 km 2 , although most of its territory was lost in wars. A particularly damaging loss was the sea coast, which was lost to Chile in the late 1800s. According to the constitution, Sucre is the capital city but La Paz is the seat of government and is often referred to as the capital.
