Pakistan is a Low- and Middle-Income Country (LMIC), located in South Asia. Like many LMICs, mental health has long been a neglected area in Pakistan’s healthcare system, despite the high burden of common psychiatric disorders. However, over the years, psychiatric education and clinical services have gradually evolved. Psychiatry is now recognized as a mandatory component of undergraduate medical education, with teaching of both behavioral sciences and psychiatry. At the postgraduate level, psychiatry training is offered through a two-year membership program and a more comprehensive four-year fellowship program. Pakistani institutions have increasingly placed a greater emphasis on aligning psychiatric training with international standards, aiming to enhance the quality and relevance of psychiatric education. Child and adolescent psychiatry is currently the only formally established subspecialty. Several challenges persist, such as stigma associated with mental illness, lack of resources, insufficient exposure of medical students to Psychiatry, and a shortage of faculty trained in modern teaching methods. The key recommendations for the future include enhancing the exposure of psychiatry among medical students, incorporating bio-psycho-social perspectives into curricula, tackling social stigma, and fostering international collaboration and research partnerships. Strengthening advocacy efforts is also essential for building a workforce that can deliver evidence-based mental health care.
