    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Sociology
    • Cultural Studies

    Background:

    • Psychiatric epidemiology in Saudi Arabia is under-researched.
    • Understanding local patterns is crucial for culturally sensitive mental healthcare.
    • Rapid societal changes in Saudi Arabia may impact mental health demographics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the demographic characteristics of new psychiatric referrals in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
    • To identify trends in age and gender among psychiatric patients.
    • To explore potential socio-cultural influences on these trends.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 324 new cases.
    • Data collected from the Psychiatric Department of King Faisal University, Dammam.
    • Study period spanned six months.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 324 new psychiatric cases were reviewed.
    • Men constituted a higher proportion of patients compared to women.
    • Younger age groups showed a higher prevalence of psychiatric referrals.

    Conclusions:

    • The demographic profile of psychiatric patients in Dammam differs from Western populations, with a male preponderance and younger age distribution.
    • Cultural factors and rapid urbanization are suggested as potential explanations for observed patterns.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the complex interplay of socio-cultural determinants in Saudi psychiatric populations.
