“…Studies that examined prevalence of Schneiderian FRS in schizophrenia in different communities showed comparable results. In Pakistan FRS prevalence was found to be 67% (Malik et al, 1990), in Brazil FRS prevalence was reported at 65% (Menezes & Mann, 1993) and in Kuwait FRS prevalence was 61.9% (Al Ansari et al, 1989). In our study the prevalence was 67%.…”

“…Our study examines the prevalence of Schneiderian FRS in a sample of schizophrenic patients in Egypt where the cultural background involves strong beliefs in the influence of magic and spiritual beings ( jinn and the devil) on the feelings and behaviour of humans, which has to be differentiated from pathological 'made' or 'passivity' phenomena (Al-Ansari et al, 1989).…”

“…For example, many Kuwaitis and expatriates in Kuwait believe that the devil is capable of tempting human beings to think, feel, or act wrongfully. To Western-trained professionals, such beliefs may be mistaken for first rank symptoms of thought control, thought insertion or passivity delusions (Al-Ansari, Emara, Mirza, & El-Islam, 1989).…”

This selective review describes recent literature and the author's experience with mental illness and mental health care, and the impact of cultural transformation on mental health in some Arab Islamic cultures, particularly in Egypt, Qatar and Kuwait. Traditional extended Arab families provide a structure for their members that may sometimes prevent and or compensate for the effects of parental loss and mental disability. The role of traditional families in the care of members and in medical decision-making is discussed. The impact of cultural change on Arab culture is also examined, as is the effect of intergenerational conflict in traditional families.

“…Symptomology was one of the most commonly occurring themes in the included articles. Clinical presentation of mental illness was described for alcohol and substance abuse [ 35 – 42 ], depression [ 32 , 43 – 45 ], suicide [ 46 , 47 ], panic disorder [ 48 ], OCD [ 34 , 49 , 50 ], schizophrenia [ 51 – 55 ], smoking behaviour [ 56 ], and hypochondriasis [ 18 ]. Several of these articles emphasized the unique presentation of certain illness within the Arab context.…”

Rapid growth and development in recent decades has seen mental health and mental illness emerge as priority health concerns for the Gulf Cooperation Council (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates). As a result, mental health services in the region are being redefined and expanded. However, there is a paucity of local research to guide ongoing service development. Local research is important because service users’ experience of mental illness and mental health services are linked to their sociocultural context. In order for service development to be most effective, there is a need for increased understanding of the people who use these services.This article aims to review and synthesize mental health research from the Gulf Cooperation Council. It also seeks to identify gaps in the literature and suggest directions for future research. A scoping framework was used to conduct this review. To identify studies, database searches were undertaken, regional journals were hand-searched, and reference lists of included articles were examined. Empirical studies undertaken in the Gulf Cooperation Council that reported mental health service users’ experience of mental illness were included. Framework analysis was used to synthesize results. Fifty-five studies met inclusion criteria and the following themes were identified: service preferences, illness (symptomology, perceived cause, impact), and recovery (traditional healing, family support, religion). Gaps included contradictory findings related to the supportive role of the Arabic extended family and religion, under-representation of women in study samples, and limited attention on illness management outside of the hospital setting.From this review, it is clear that the sociocultural context in the region is linked to service users’ experience of mental illness. Future research that aims to fill the identified gaps and develop and test culturally appropriate interventions will aid practice and policy development in the region.
