| Abstract: | This study evaluates psychiatry and mental health publications in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, specifically focusing on the Philippines from 1996 to 2023. Academic publication varies among ASEAN states, with Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand leading. Despite the 2018 Mental Health Act, the Philippines did not significantly increase research output. However, the COVID-19 pandemic spurred mental health research in the Philippines. This highlights the need for further research on barriers and research quality. Policymakers should consider these findings for regional mental health research strategies. The study also shows the research community's adaptability during crises, which can inform future responses to public health challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
