Abstract
In developing nations such as Pakistan, mental health disorders are
common. The high incidence might be attributed, in part, to the
inadequate understanding of mental health concerns and the low literacy
rate. That might be the cause of Pakistan's extremely low number of
psychiatrists. Pakistan has one of the lowest rates of psychiatrists in
the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region and the entire globe, with only
0.19 per 100,000 people, according to the World Health Organization's
statistics
