The research method in this article uses a library research model with data sources obtained through secondary data search with a juridical-normative approach. The results of the study show that the dynamics of legal politics on mental health problems in Indonesia have been going on from 1966 to 2014, but nevertheless mental health rules in terms of orientation and practice are still partially running.
