New and Emerging Mental Health Issues in the Modern Era

Location: FSE020 (Faculty of Education Sciences (FSE))
RC49 Mental Health and Illness (host committee)

Language: English

Some of the mental health problems of society and people are universal and timeless, while others are strongly influenced by the characteristics of the times and give rise to new problems. In addition, some problems are discovered or created as a result of developments in medicine and pharmaceuticals. For example, autism spectrum disorder, a developmental disorder that has increased in recent years, is a new mental health problem, and adverse childhood experiences have been renamed mental health problems. Thus, there may be new mental health problems in different societies, cultures and environments around the world. We invite reports of such issues.
