“…The prevalence of depression we found (10.1%) is comparable to that reported in a recent pilot study (13.2%) of a national mental health survey in Nepal [5], a study of cross-border Nepalese migrants (13.5%) [24], a cross sectional study among Nepalese adults aged 18-65 years (11.7%) [6] and studies of non-Nepalese populations, including India (10.6%) [25], Spain (11.3%) [26] and the United States (16 %) [27]. However, the prevalence of depression we found was slightly higher than that in the study recently conducted by Devkota et al, (2020) in Nepal [28] and about three fold higher than the national prevalence of (2.7%) in India [29] and the estimated national prevalence rate (3.2%) in Nepal [1].…”

Background: Mental health is a growing concern worldwide. It is not well understood whether Nepali workers, including international labour migrants from Nepal, are at higher risk of developing mental health problems. The purpose of our study is to determine the prevalence of and examine the risks factors for depression among returnee migrants and non-migrant working male adults in Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of a probability-based sample of 725 participants was conducted in February 2020. The sample was comprised of two groups based on migration status: returning migrants and non-migrants. Logistic regression was applied to investigate factors associated with symptoms depression.Results: The overall prevalence of depression was 10.1%. However, the prevalence of depression was lower (7%) among returnee migrants compared to non-migrants (13.7%). Participants in the lower income group were more at risk of depression (OR=5.38, 95% CI: 1.96-14.78) than those in the higher income group. Similarly, Buddhists and Christians were more likely to be depressed (OR=2.17, 95% CI: 1.02-4.64) than Hindus. Interestingly, participants having more than two children had a higher prevalence of depression (OR=5.14, 95% CI: 1.22-21.63) compared with those having no children. Unmarried participants were more likely to be depressed (OR=4.05, 95%, CI:1.10-14.93) than those who were married. Conclusion: The working Nepali adult male population in Nepal, including returning migrants, is at risk of depression, but this risk is lower in those in the higher income group, returnee migrants, married, Hindus and those with no children. This study highlights the need to monitor and develop national policies to ensure the mental health of Nepali male adult population, including returnee migrants.

“…That is so because both doctors and psychologists are scientists trained to conduct independent research and are socially very well valued. In an up-to-date epidemiological study carried out in the Spanish city of Granada, Cervilla et al (2018) [38] recently brought to light that the mental disorders found in their research correlated with cannabis use among other factors. So, the proposals quite often made about liberalizing cannabis use with few or no restrictions are in fact speculative or chimerical suggestions that disregard and underestimate the host of scientific data that reject them.…”

Background. It is scientifically undeniable that there is a relationship between cannabis use, psychoses of different types and other mental disorders. Frequent use of cannabis as well as high potency synthetic cannabis has special clinical significance for public health. Method. A review of the best and most current specialized literature published in order to clarify possible controversies that still persist. The aim is to resolve certain doubts so that scientifically supported criteria on the risks and dangers of cannabis use for mental health can be issued without any prejudices. Result. Cannabis is the most used illegal drug in the US and worldwide over the past year. Some authors hypothesize about interaction bias and confounding that could annul the internal validity of many studies reporting on the dangers of cannabis for mental health. They also emphasize that cannabis use should not be criminalized. This is, however, a merely speculative or unrealistic hope that disregards the wealth of scientific data that reject the authors' aspiration according to the available evidence consulted. Conclusion. The most qualified scientific journals, in line with the main professional institutions, have been rigorously and accurately informing their readers ˗and must continue doing it˗ of the dangers and harm caused by substance use, including cannabis. In short, the issue is to try to decrease the incidence of the related mental disorders which are sufficiently acknowledged. Mental health professionals cannot and must not be neutral or ambiguous regarding cannabis use, its collective spreading and the health risks that it entails.

“…The results showed the lifetime prevalence of mental disorders was 16.6% [ 1 ]. Though this lifetime prevalence was slightly lower than that of European, the United State and other areas ranging between 14 and 26% [ 2 – 5 ]. If considering total population - 1.4 billion, this prevalence still indicates that a very large number of individuals are affected by mental disorders in China [ 1 ].…”

Background The great economic and social changes have resulted in the prevalence of mental disorder increasing year by year in China. Mental health medical service resources of China are significantly insufficient. The program of Transfer Training for psychiatrist was launched in China in October 2015. Thousands of physicians completed the transfer training and obtained certificates. To date, there is little evidence to identify the status and related factors of clinical competence among scope-of-practice transfer psychiatrists in China. Purpose This study aimed to investigate the status and related factors of clinical competence among scope-of-practice transfer psychiatrists of Sichuan Province, China. Patients and methods The sample was composed of 291 physicians who certificated the transfer training. Data were collected between September and November 2021, using self-made questionnaire with a total of 22 items to record demographic characteristics, practice status and workplace of participants. Descriptive statistics analysis, independent sample T-test, one-way ANOVA, Spearman rank correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results The clinical competence of participants score was (8.02 ± 1.48). Significant differences were found in clinical competence scores among: the subgroups of practice category, reasons for attending in the transfer training for psychiatrists, whether transfer to/ add mental health practice registration, whether engage in mental / psychological work after training, whether the level of transfer training meeting participants’ job needs, whether the level of transfer training meeting their theoretical learning needs, whether the level of transfer training meeting their clinical practice needs, salary change compared with pre-training, whether join in continuing education after training, whether wanted to join in continuing education after training, whether the workplace before training has mental / psychological department, whether the workplace after training has mental / psychological department, institutional nature, institutional level and institutional affiliation. Multiple regression analysis identified that level of transfer training meeting participants’ job needs, level of transfer training meeting their clinical practice needs, Whether the workplace before training has mental / psychological department, whether wanted to join in continuing education after training, institutional nature were the contributors of clinical competence. Conclusion The study demonstrated that clinical competence of scope-of-practice transfer psychiatrists needed to be improved. Whether workplace has mental/psychological departments was an important factor of clinical competence. Besides, interest of physicians is another crucial factor for their clinical competence. The continuing education of those psychiatrists may be one effective measure considering their factual working conditions.
