Declarations

:

: This service evaluation initiative involved a retrospective analysis of existing data and did not involve any experiments on humans. No new patients were recruited and therefore consent to participate was not required. The data used was fully anonymized and not linked to any patient-identifiable information to ensure data protection and confidentiality. The need for informed consent and ethical approval by the institutional review board (medical research centre) was deemed unnecessary and waived by Abhath, the online submission support service for researchers at Hamad Medical Corporation, and mental health service departmental approval was advised. The necessary ethical approval and informed consent waiver were obtained from the leadership of the mental health services department. The study was performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations as outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki.
