Background: Papua New Guinea is a developing country with limited resources for specialist mental health services.Little is known about the mental health and treatment services of Papua New Guinea.Aim: The aim of this study was to clarify the presenting mental health problems encountered by Papua New Guineanhealth workers and the common treatment approaches used.Methods: A total of 203 Papua New Guinean health workers completed a retrospective quantitative survey about theirthree most recent mental health patients. The survey asked about presenting symptomatology, diagnoses (includingculture-bound diagnoses) and treatment approaches.Results: The major presenting mental health problems for males included schizophrenia, substance use disorder, sorceryand spirit possession. Depression was the most common diagnoses for women, followed by sorcery and somatisation.Over 65% of patients were prescribed psychotropic medication, over 50% received some form of psychologicalintervention and 28% were receiving traditional treatments.Conclusions: Somatic symptoms are common among both male and female Papua New Guineans; however, malesmay be more likely to present with psychotic symptoms and females with mood-related problems. Schizophrenia anddepression are commonly identified with substance use disorder more problematic among males. Culture-specificexplanations and treatment are commonly used.
