Asia has some of the largest conglomerations of human populations and also the fastest growing economies of the world. About 23% of the world's population lives in the South Asian region, and one-fifth of psychiatrically ill patients in the world live in this part of the world. Despite vast cultural, religious, geographical, and political diversities, the factors influencing mental health remain the same throughout this wide region, as highlighted at the recently concluded Asian summit, where the slogan, 'One vision, one identity, one community,' was launched. Thus, the need to strengthen regional cooperation in the field of mental health has always been felt. This article highlights facts about influence of Indian Psychiatry research as well as of some Asian countries in the world psychiatry and vice versa.
亚洲拥有一些世界上最大的人口聚居区和增长最快的经济体。全球约有 23%的人口生活在南亚地区，而全球五分之一的精神病患者也生活在这一地区。尽管存在着巨大的文化、宗教、地理和政治多样性，但在最近闭幕的亚洲峰会上强调指出，在这一广阔地区，影响心理健康的因素是相同的，会上提出了“一个愿景、一个身份、一个社区”的口号。因此，一直需要加强精神卫生领域的区域合作。本文重点介绍了印度精神病学研究以及一些亚洲国家在世界精神病学中的影响力，反之亦然。
