IMPACT OF THE SLOWNESS OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM ON THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED

Resumo

The present study will examine the slowness of the judicial 
system and its impact on the mental health of victims and parties 
involved in legal proceedings. The problem situation involves 
identifying how the delay in resolving court cases contributes to 
mental health problems, including stress, anxiety and 
depression. It seeks to understand the causes of delays, 
evaluate their psychological effects, and propose solutions to 
mitigate these adverse effects. A qualitative analysis of the 
current situation was carried out based on a literature review and 
comparative analysis. The rationale for this study lies in the 
urgent need for reforms in the justice system to protect the 
mental health of victims and ensure the efficiency of the process. 
The main hypothesis is that the slowness of the judicial system 
is directly correlated with the increase in mental health problems. 
At the end of the study, it will be found that the delay has a 
significant impact on the mental health of the parties involved and 
requires structural reforms and specific interventions to mitigate 
these adverse effects and that it is not enough just to claim state 
compensation. The proposed solutions vary, but all emphasize 
the urgency of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the 
system.
