The Covid-19 epidemic in recent years, earthquakes, wars and economic depressions have left humanity facing disasters. These disasters have not only caused humanity to experience physical difficulties, but also faced with a pandemic of mental illnesses. Many people started to have mental problems, mild cases got worse, and severe cases exploded and applied to mental health centers and specialists. Sufficiently trained and qualified specialists are needed. Qualified Mental Health Professionals are needed in order to cope with these disasters that humanity is facing. It is also necessary to increase the training of mental health specialists in order to make the mental health services of specialists working in the field of mental health more effective. Universities and scientific institutions also need to develop and increase educational standards by carrying out programmed scientific studies. Our journal, on the other hand, will continue to contribute to the development of needed mental health services. Our journal ranks first in the indexes with the widest network in the field of psychiatry and psychology in its local region, Cyprus.
