Grant School of Public Health Bangladesh Gender Mental Health Mental Health Services This article was published in the Materia socio-medica [© 2019 Nazmun Nahar Nuri, Malabika Sarker,, Helal Uddin Ahmed, Mohammad Didar Hossain, Fekri Dureab, Faith Agbozo,, Albrecht Jahn ] and the definite version is available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.5455/msm.2019.31.35-39 The Journal's website is at: https://www.ejmanager.com/mnstemps/16/16-1552336392.pdf?t=1647425347 Introduction: The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is the only national level mental health institution in Bangladesh, with both academic and clinical functions, thus playing a crucial role in delivering specialized mental health care for the entire population. Aim: This study examined the overall pattern of mental health care seeking, age and sex distribution of patients and mental health problems diagnosed in the facility. Methods: Using a facility-based cross-sectional study design, secondary data was collected from various hospital records and reports from April 2001 to June 2016, and quantitatively analyzed. Results: There has been a steady increase in the number of patients at NIMH over the years. Typically, female patients were about half in number compared to male patients and fewer in each age group and all disease categories except inpatients with neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders. The highest number of inpatients and outpatients were 15-30 years old and those with schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders. Conclusion: Minors and females seeking care at NIMH were underrepresented, thus highlighting the need for interventions to improve access for these patients.
