Mental health diseases are increasing worldwide. The impact on the economic and social systems on the well-being and health of persons in need makes mental health services important. Despite this importance, mental health services are backward in terms of policy priority within health systems. The increase in social and economic losses caused by mental illnesses has led to the effectiveness of mental health services. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of mental health services in selected OECD countries and to make comparisons between the countries concerned. In this scope, input-oriented data coverage analysis (VZA) has been used by the standard (CRS) and variable returned (VRS) models. As the input variables; the number of psychiatric patient beds, the number of psychiatric nurses, the number of psychiatric nurses and the number of psychologists; and as the output variable, the brutal suicide rate has been used. According to the CRS model, three and four countries have been active according to the VRS model. It is recommended that countries take measures to reduce brutal suicide rates by improving their mental health services.
