尼泊尔的精神病学发展历史短暂而缓慢。最近的政治动荡削弱了尼泊尔农村地区的医疗保健。尽管在20世纪的最后25年，尼泊尔的精神病学服务有所发展，但即使在今天，大多数尼泊尔人仍然无法获得这种服务。没有国家卫生方案或《精神卫生法》。精神科服务以医院为基础，大多数集中在首都。尼泊尔的精神科医生急需帮助，但他们一直无法形成一个强大的专业团体。本报告介绍了尼泊尔精神卫生服务现代化的历史背景、现状和建议。
Nepal has a short and slowly developing history of psychiatry. Recent political turmoil has crippled Nepalese healthcare in rural areas. Although the final quarter of the 20th century saw some development of psychiatric services in Nepal, the majority of Nepalese people remain deprived of such services even today. There is no national health programme or Mental Health Act. Psychiatric services are hospital based and most are centralised in the capital. Nepalese psychiatrists need urgent help, but they have been unable to form a strong professional body. This report presents the historical background, current state of affairs and suggestions for modernising mental health services in Nepal.
