Employers in Russia will be able to arrange for employees to undergo psychiatric examinations starting in 2026
Starting from March 1, 2026, if signs of mental disorders are found during regular health check-ups, Russian employers will have the right to require employees to undergo a mental health assessment. Maria Solovyeva, an associate professor at the Department of Clinical Psychology of the Faculty of Clinical Psychology and Social Work at Pirogov University, and a candidate of medical sciences, revealed this information to TASS.
Maria Solovyeva emphasized: "The new regulation clearly states that employers have the right to require employees to undergo an assessment when there are signs of mental disorders in their regular health check-up results."
She further pointed out that this new measure will allow employers to more flexibly deal with changes in employees' mental health conditions.
Based on the results of mandatory mental health examinations, citizens may be temporarily deemed unable to perform certain types of work due to mental disorders.
The assessment process includes a psychiatric consultation (in-person visit and counseling), collection of subjective and objective symptoms and medical history, as well as a psychopathological examination.
