Psychiatry in the sultanate of Oman

BJPsych Int. 2023 Nov;20(4):81-84. doi: 10.1192/bji.2023.24.

Abstract

Oman has been recognised as the leading country in terms of recent developments in public health. However, there is a shortage of mental health services, which poses challenges for people seeking such services, particularly those from rural areas. This often results in delayed treatment and longer periods of untreated mental illness.

Keywords: Oman; mental disorders; mental health services; psychiatry.
