Clinical counselling will identify the causes of mental disorders and provide knowledge on symptoms and treatments.

“The curriculum follows the modules that are in other countries like in South Asia, Australia, UK and the US,” said Curriculum Developer, Dr. Brian Price.

He said the curriculum will have practical components like mental disorders, substance abuse, family stress and family problems.

He added with modernisation, people are stressed more than in the past.

However, Bhutan lacks trained mental health personals which affect quality mental health services.

“Our country has many youth related problems and suicide is on the rise,” said Programme Leader of Khesar Gyalpo University of Medical Sciences of Bhutan, Kinley Gyeltsen.
