Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: In 2010, Saudi Arabia became the first country from the Gulf Cooperation Council states to join the World Mental Health Survey Initiative, which collaborates with Harvard University and has undertaken over 33 countries. The Saudi National Mental Health Survey revealed that 80% of Saudis with severe mental health disorders do not seek treatment. Considering the strong evidence set out in Saudi national study and the recommendations for future research, this systematic literature review was initiated to examine the most studied neurodevelopmental disorders reported in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to explore public knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Findings have shown that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder have been the most studied neurodevelopmental disorders in Saudi Arabia since 2010. However, various groups in Saudi society, including healthcare professionals, medical students, and the general public, lacked knowledge about these health conditions, often leading to stigmatized attitudes and behaviors toward people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. However, demographic data showed that most of the studies were carried out in the Central and Western provinces. More research is needed in all regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to contribute to the knowledge about mental health conditions of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder children and their parents to increase knowledge about neurodevelopmental disorders and mental health disorders in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, thereby enabling people to rethink their attitudes and behavior.
摘要：
2010年，沙特阿拉伯成为海湾合作委员会成员国中第一个加入世界心理健康调查倡议的国家，它与哈佛大学合作，并在33个国家开展了合作。沙特国家心理健康调查显示，80％患有严重心理健康障碍的沙特人不寻求治疗。考虑到沙特国家研究中提出的有力证据以及对未来研究的建议，这项系统的文献综述旨在研究沙特阿拉伯王国报道的研究最多的神经发育障碍，以探索公众知识，态度，和行为。研究结果表明，自2010年以来，注意力缺陷多动障碍和自闭症谱系障碍一直是沙特阿拉伯研究最多的神经发育障碍。然而,沙特社会的各个团体，包括医疗保健专业人员，医学生,和公众，缺乏对这些健康状况的了解，通常导致对注意力缺陷多动障碍和自闭症谱系障碍患者的污名化态度和行为。然而,人口统计数据显示，大多数研究是在中西部省份进行的。需要在沙特阿拉伯王国的所有地区开展更多研究，以帮助了解注意力缺陷多动障碍和自闭症谱系障碍儿童及其父母的精神健康状况，以增加对沙特阿拉伯王国的神经发育障碍和心理健康障碍的知识，从而使人们能够重新思考他们的态度和行为。
