Overview and history
editThe journal was established by Yifeng Xu (Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine) and co-edited by the executive editor-in-chief Jinghong Chen (Shanghai Mental Health Center).[3] As the first psychiatric journal in China, it was established in 1959 as the Shanghai Archives of Psychiatry (Chinese name: 上海精神医学).[4][5] Initially published at irregular intervals, it became a quarterly publication in 1989 and a bimonthly one in 2003. In 2012, it transitioned to an all-English publication.[4] In August 2018, it changed its name to General Psychiatry and joined the BMJ Publishing Group.[6][7] The journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics and is affiliated with the Shanghai Mental Health Center (Chinese name: 上海精神卫生中心).[8]

Notable articles
editThe followings are the top 3 articles based on Altmetrics scores (＞1000):
- Sun, Ching-Fang; Xie, Hui; Metsutnan, Vemmy; Draeger, John H.; Lin, Yezhe; Hankey, Maria Stack; Kablinger, Anita S. (2023-06-01). "The mean age of gender dysphoria diagnosis is decreasing". General Psychiatry. 36 (3): e100972. doi:10.1136/gpsych-2022-100972. hdl:10919/115848.[12] The study revealed an upward trend in biological females diagnosed with gender dysphoria.[13] 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.[13]
- Sun, Ying; Ju, Peijun; Xue, Ting; Ali, Usman; Cui, Donghong; Chen, Jinghong (2023-01-01). "Alteration of faecal microbiota balance related to long-term deep meditation". General Psychiatry. 36 (1): e100893. doi:10.1136/gpsych-2022-100893. PMC 9896348.[14] The study showed that a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks had substantially different gut microbiota than that of their non-religious neighbors.[15] The findings suggested that regular deep meditation practiced for a number of years appears to regulate the gut microbiome and improve health.[16]
- Cai, Han; Su, Ning; Li, Wei; Li, Xia; Xiao, Shifu; Sun, Lin (2021-02-01). "Relationship between afternoon napping and cognitive function in the ageing Chinese population". General Psychiatry. 34 (1): e100361. doi:10.1136/gpsych-2020-100361. PMC 7839842. PMID 33585792.[17] 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.[18] A proper nap is beneficial to the maintenance of cognitive function.[19] 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.[20]
