Declining or Waning
- Traditional Psychotherapy Approaches:
There has been a noticeable decrease in publications focusing on traditional psychotherapy methods, which may be overshadowed by more contemporary approaches and the integration of technology in treatment. - Psychoanalytic Theories:

While still relevant, there has been a reduction in articles solely dedicated to broad mental health awareness campaigns, as the focus shifts towards specific populations and targeted interventions. - Longitudinal Studies on Chronic Mental Disorders:
The frequency of longitudinal studies examining chronic mental disorders has declined, potentially due to the increasing complexity and resource demands of such research. - Substance Use Disorders Without Comorbidities:
