International Journal of Psychiatry, formerly known as Foreign Medical Psychiatry, was founded in 1974. Since its inception, we have introduced the latest news in the field of mental health both at home and abroad to our peers with the concept of “using foreign countries for Chinese purposes and putting practicality first”. After entering the “China Science and Technology Statistical Source Journal (China Science and Technology Core Journal)”, the journal emphasizes both reviews and treatises, and also publishes a moderate amount of typical cases, words of famous experts, and psychiatric forums. The readers are mainly psychiatrists, nurses, child mental health workers and researchers of neuropsychiatric fringe disciplines at all levels. It has been honored as an advanced group of Hunan Provincial Science and Technology Journal Editorial Society in 2011 and 2013.
