People displaced due to any reason experience mental health issues which are a critical topic of discussion in the mobility studies. In this study, we have bibliometrically analyzed works that discusses the mental health of the victims of displacement. Using Biblioshiny of R Studio and VOS viewer, the productions, citations, sources, themes, contributors, affiliations, collaborations and network were examined from 2012 to 2025. The production regarding the topic has increased since 2018; conversely, the citation count has lowered. Contribution from authors shows significant interest of the researchers to contribute to the topic from the number of production and relevant author contribution figure. Geographically, publication and collaboration remains limited to North America, Europe and few African countries with limited contributions from Middle Eastern, Asian and South American regions. Thematically, discussion is concentrated within basic themes and clinical studies only. While the mental health of the displaced people is being discussed actively in the present times, the bibliometric analysis saw that there is a need for more thematic and geographical exploration on the topic.
