The United States leads in scientific publications in psychiatry and mental health, with publications more than double those of China, the second highest. From 2023, China experienced the highest growth, with a significant year-on-year increase in output, while countries like Malta, Vietnam, and Indonesia also exhibited remarkable growth rates. Western countries such as Canada, the UK, and Germany showed moderate growth, while some, like New Zealand and Slovenia, saw declines. Africa and Latin America, particularly Egypt and Colombia, are advancing rapidly, albeit from a smaller base.
Future trends indicate a sustained increase in contributions from Asian countries, notably China and India, driven by expanding research infrastructure and collaborations. The rising interest in mental health and increased global collaboration are likely to maintain or boost these publication trends, with diversified contributions from emerging economies expected to enrich research quality and perspectives.
