Background: The millennium posed an unknown challenge to mental health services worldwide. In anticipation, contingencies were implemented in preparation for the unexpected impact on psychiatric morbidity. Results: This study evaluates the impact of the millennium on psychiatric emergency service utilization in the Northern and Southern hemispheres - the UK, Nigeria and Australia. Findings did not demonstrate a notable "millennium effect" on mental health services. A number of patients presented psycho-pathology incorporating millennium themes. A post-Christmas and post-New Year increase in presentation was observed. Conclusion: There was no change in service needs.
