Abstract: Background and Objectives: Mental health issues significantly impact individuals, families, communities, and healthcare costs. Integrating mental health into primary care fosters a holistic approach to patient care, leading to potential advantages. This study aimed to analyze the research evidence on mental health published by Thai family physicians. Design: bibliometric analysis Materials and methods: Analysis of Thai family physicians' research on mental health issues, based on publications from 2000-2023 aggregated on Famscholar (a platform launched in November 2023 that collects publications from Scopus and Thaijo). Results: Out of 108 articles found, only 57 were relevant for the study. These relevant articles were retrieved from Scopus (53%) and Thaijo (47%). The majority of the articles (79%) were cross-sectional studies. The studies mainly showed the disease burden (89%) rather than exploring interventions (11%). Depression was the most common topic (45%), and almost half (46%) of the studies were conducted in hospitals. Conclusions: Most studies employed a cross-sectional design with a primary focus on depression. These studies primarily examined local mental health conditions and their associated factors rather than interventions. Data for these studies was collected from both hospital and community settings. Conducting more community-based research to identify novel interventions is recommended. Keywords Mental health, Depression, Family physicians, Thailand
