The article addresses the issue of mental illness. It argues that little effort has been devoted to mental health issues in Nepal and discusses this issue by studying a sample of 221 households with 1200 residents among the Jirel ethnic group in Jiri. The article includes the tabulated data on rates of psychiatric disorders in Jiri (Nepal) and the United States. The article provides an epidemiological description of the rates of mental disorder in Jiri, Nepal, using survey-based measurements. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2006-10-12)
