Abstract
A review of the Western mental health scales that have been utilized in Nepal was conducted. Academic search engines (PubMed, MEDLINE, PsychLIT, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Anthropology Plus) were searched using relevant terms for the years 1990-2011. Search results indicated a limited number of mental health scales had been used and/or developed in Nepal with mixed emphasis on reliability and validity, as well as cultural considerations. These scales, methods and limitations are discussed within the cultural and social background of Nepal.
