Overview and history

edit

General Psychiatry was founded by Professor Yifeng Xu (Professor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine). As the first psychiatric journal in China, it was established in 1959 under the name of Shanghai Archives of Psychiatry (Chinese name: 上海精神医学).[5][6] Initially published at irregular intervals, it became a quarterly publication in 1989 and a bimonthly publication in 2003. In 2012, it transitioned to an all-English publication.[7] In August 2018, it changed its name to General Psychiatry and joined the BMJ Publishing Group.[8][9] The journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and is affiliated to Shanghai Mental Health Center (Chinese name: 上海精神卫生中心).[10]

Notable articles

edit

A number of significant research in psychiatry have been first published in General Psychiatry in recent years. The followings are the top 3 articles based on Altmetrics (＞1000):

The mean age of gender dysphoria diagnosis is decreasing (2023)[13][14]

The study revealed an upward trend in biological females diagnosed with gender dysphoria.[15] It found that there are more teens than ever claiming that their biological sex does not meet their gender identity and that they are coming to this conclusion earlier and earlier.[15]

Alteration of faecal microbiota balance related to long-term deep meditation (2023)[16][17]

The study showed that a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks had substantially different gut microbes than that of their non-religious neighbors.[18] The findings suggested that regular deep meditation practiced for a number of years appears to regulate the gut microbiome and improve health.[19]

Relationship between afternoon napping and cognitive function in the ageing Chinese population (2021)[20][21]

A study of 2,200 adults 60 and older found that those who took naps of 30 minutes or less four times a week scored higher on cognitive tests than never-nappers.[22] A proper nap is beneficial to the maintenance of cognitive function.[23] They found that those who usually napped were less likely to have cognitive impairments than those who didn’t. This was true regardless of age or level of education.[24]
