Perspective Chapter: Prevalence and Management of the Panic Disorder in Nepal

Author:

Singh Gurung Bhupendra

Abstract

Although panic attacks are not life-threatening, they can be terrifying and have a substantial impact on your quality of life. Treatment, on the other hand, can be quite effective. Little attention is paid to mental health in Nepal. There is no mental health law and the National Mental Health Policy formulated in 1997 has yet to come into full effect. Unspecified anxiety disorder (15.7%), adjustment disorder (13.9%), and post-traumatic stress disorder were the most frequently diagnosed conditions (8.3%). In 2018, the KCH CAP (OPD) cared for 2477 children, of whom 1529 were men and 948 were women. The most common diagnoses were anxiety disorder (524). Children ranging in age from 6 to 18 years old took part in the study. Nepal has one general hospital dedicated to mental illness and four private mental hospitals. Inpatient mental health care is provided primarily by 19 medical schools, 36 private−public hospitals, and many 27 public hospitals. The counseling situation in Nepal is largely poor. Advanced psychotherapy is provided by 35 clinical psychologists who are licensed practitioners in Nepal. In a 2018 research with 2477 individuals, 524 incidences of anxiety disorders were identified. Supervised counseling and psychotherapy practice is a relatively new concept in Nepal.
