Samer El Hayek

Samer El Hayek's work focuses on mental health and addiction psychiatry, covering topics such as substance use and opioid treatment policy, depression, stigma around mental illness and substance use disorders, and cultural aspects of psychiatric conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder and somatic symptom disorders, often with a focus on populations in Lebanon and the Arab world. Much of the output consists of reviews, editorials, and cross-sectional studies published in psychiatry journals, alongside occasional unrelated pieces on other topics that appear in the same publication record. Note that a few listed publications (e.g., on satellite navigation, traumatic brain injury nanoparticles) appear unrelated to this research profile and may reflect data attribution issues.

Publication output grew fairly steadily from 2019 through a peak in 2024, followed by an apparent decline in 2025, though the 2025 count may be incomplete.
