16. Mental health plays a critical role in
relationship
Mental illness might have an impact on
how we interacts with our friends and
family.
Mental illness frequently results in passive
aggressiveness, hostility and the capacity
to participates in social activities.
This may results in conflicts with our
friends and families.
17. Mental health affects physical health
There is a link between our mental health
and physical health.
Mental illness can induce stress and have
an effect in our immune system.
A sick mind can lead to anxiety and
sadness, both which can make it difficult
to move about and stay active.
Mental health is related to emotional
wellbeing
Mental health can make you feel down,
irritated, or disturbed.
Taking care of our emotional wellbeing can
help us to be more productive.
18. Mental health awareness can help in curbing
suicidal rates
Those who committed suicide has
conditions such as depression, bipolar

scenarios.
20. Mental health is connected to productivity
and productivity and financial stability
According to WHO, almost 200 million
work days are lost each year owing to

It is widely known that, poor mental
health causes a drop in productivity, which
has an impact on financial stability.

26. OVERVIEW
All human behavior lies somewhere along a
continuum of mental health and illness.
One of the approach in defining mental
health and mental illness is based on
evaluating individual behavior in two
dimensions;
• On continuum from adaptive to
maladaptive.
• On a continuum from constructive to
destructive.
27. Along the adaptive- maladaptive
continuum, adaptive behavior solves
problems in living and enhances an
individual’s life.
Maladaptive behavior allows a problem to
continue and often generates new
problems.
On a continuum from constructive to
destructive behavior, constructive
behavior contributes to psychological
growth and biological functioning of the
individual and others.
28. It improves the health and positively
influences the psychological functioning of
the individual and others.
The destructive behavior results in failure to
deal with a problem and affects
psychological functioning in the individual or
others.
29. In mental health- illness continuum, anxiety
and grief have been described as 2 major,
primary response to the stress.
Both of these responses are presented on a
continuum according to degree of symptom
severity.
Disorders as they appear in the DSM-IV-TR
are identified at their appropriate placement
along the continuum.
30. (Diagnostic& Statistical manual of
Mental Disorders, IVth edition, Text
revision)
The APA endorses case evaluation on a multi
axial system to facilitate comprehensive
and systematic evaluation with attention to
various mental disorders and general
medical conditions, psychological and
environmental problems and level of
functioning that might be overlooked if, the
focus were on assessing a single presenting
problem.
31. AXIS 1
• Clinical disorders and other conditions
that maybe a focus of clinical attention
AXIS 2
• Personality disorders and Mental
retardation
AXIS 3
• General medical conditions
AXIS 4
• Psychosocial and environmental
problems
AXIS 5
• Global assessment of functioning
32. This includes all mental disorders, except
personality disorders and mental
retardation).
2. Personality disorders and Mental
retardation
These disorders are usually begins in
childhood or adolescence and persists in a
stable form into adult life.
33. These includes current medical conditions
that is potentially relevant to the
understanding or management of the
individual’s mental disorders.
4. Psychosocial and environmental
problems
These are problems that may affect the
diagnostics, treatment and prognosis of
mental disorders named on axis 1 and axis
2.
34. These includes problems related to primary
support group, social environment,
education, occupation, housing, economics,
access to health care services, interaction
with the legal system or crime, and other
type of psychosocial and the environmental
problems.
5. Global assessment of functioning
This allows the clinician to rate the
individual’s overall functioning on the Global
Assessment of Functioning Scale( GAF)
35.
36. Demonic possession, the influence of
ancestral spirits, the result of violating
taboo or neglecting a cultural ritual and
spiritual condemnation.
As a result, the mentally ill were often
starved, beaten, burnt, amputated and
tortured in order to make the body an
unsuitable place for demon.
37. Gradually, man began the quest for scientific
knowledge and truth. Which can be treated
as follows;
Pythagoras( 580- 510 Bc)
Developed the concept that the brain is the
greatest seat of intellectual activity.
38. Hippocrates( 460- 370Bc)
Described mental illness as hysteria, mania
and depression.
Plato( 427- 347Bc)
Identified the relationship between mind
and body.
Asciepiades
Father of psychiatry
Made use of simple hygienic measures, diet,
bath, massage in place of mechanical
ventilators.
39. The Greeks were the first to study mental
illness, scientifically and separate the study
of mind from religion.
Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, emphasized
on the release of repressed emotions for
the effective treatment of the mental
illness.
He suggested catharsis and music therapy
for patients with melancholia.
40. During middle ages, the mentally ill were
considered as the people to be helped.
St. Augustine who believed that although
God is acted directly in human affairs,
people were responsible for their own
actions.
Renaissance( 1300- 1600AD)
In Europe
It was believed that demon were the cause
of hallucinations, delusions and sexual
activity and the treatment was torture and
even death.
41.
42.
43. 1840s- Florence Nightingale made an
attempt to meet the needs of psychiatric
patients with proper hygiene, better food,
light and ventilation and use of drugs to
chemically restrained violent and aggressive
patients.
1872- first training school for nurses,
based on Nightingale’s system was
established by New England hospitals for
women and children.
USA Linda Richards, the first nurse to
graduate from the one year course,
developed 12 training schools in USA.
44. 1882- First school to prepare nurses to
care for the mentally illed was opened at
MC Lean hospital.
A two years program was started but, few
psychological skills were addressed and
much importance was given to custodial
care such as personal hygiene, medication,
nutrition, etc.
1913- John’s Hospital became the first
school of nursing includes a fully developed
course for psychiatric nursing in the
curriculum.
45. Major growth in psychiatric nursing
occurred after World War II because of the
emergence of services related to psychiatric
problems.
The content of psychiatric nursing became
the integral part of the general nursing
curriculum.
1921- short training course of 3- 6 months
were conducted in Ranchi.
46. 1943- Psychiatric nursing course was
started for male nurses. The Chennai gov.
organized a three months psychiatric
nursing course for male nursing students.
1946- Health Survey Committee Report
recommended preparation of nursing
personnel in psychiatric nursing also.
Commencement of training in existing
institutions like mental hospitals of
Bangalore and Ranchi.
47.
48. Having said that, the current state of psychiatry
as a field, it’s practices and trends, academics
and research, it’s facilities in metros and rural
areas, and it’s legislation and social security
measures needs security.
Equally important is a look at future trends in
practice and research.
49. We lack the knowledge of the etiology and
pathogenesis of most psychiatric disorders.
We don’t a single biometry in psychiatry yet.
We have no objective or prognostic
investigations, and our drugs and
psychological treatments are often partially
effective.
50. We hope to join the other medical specialties in
moving from “descriptive to analytical” ie, being
fully evidence based.
Discovery of effective antipsychotics and
antidepressant drugs, raised the hopes of
pathological mechanisms of the underlying
issues.
51. ACADEMICS AND RESEARCH
Pure academics are learned and encouraged only in
selected institutions such as NIMHANS, PGI
Chandigarh and Ranchi.
Psychiatric departments in medical colleges have
limited facilities, and mainly focused on clinical work
and patient care.
Liaison psychiatry as a subspecialty is yet to develop
as a branch of general psychiatry.
52. RURAL PSYCHIATRY
Limited scope
Facilities are not adequate
PHCs can be helped by telemedicine and video
conferences.
For developing psychiatric rehabilitation centers,
requires vast tract of lands and other such
facilities.
53. PSYCHIATRIC FACILITIES IN METRO- CITIES
Residential societies or commercial
establishments do not give the permission due to
fear of mentally ill people on their premises.
Psychiatric patients are generally treated at
general hospital departments
Five star hospitals do not encourage psychiatric
patients to their hospitals.
54. INSURANCE AND OTHER SERVICES
Insurance companies do not provide
profitable to insure people for their mental
illness.
If a person commits suicide, within an year
of taking policy, beneficiaries do not get
claimed money.
55. Early diagnosis and early interventions to serious
mental illnesses.
Genetic discoveries leading to molecular
pathophysiology and biotechnology.
Neuroplasticity as a symptom target seen in
structural atrophy at cellular and molecular levels
documented in psychosis, mania, depression, etc
Brain repair surgery- to reverse neuroplastic
changes.
56. Collaborative model- inter training of
physical and mental disorders.
For e.g. increased incidence of cvs disorders
are seen in serious psychiatric illnesses.
Similarly patients with obesity,
hypertension, DM, and dislipidemia suffer
increased risk of psychiatric illnesses.
57. Current classification in psychiatry is a
symptom or syndrome based.
Maybe psychiatry will come nearer to other
branches of medicine and develops an
etiological diagnosis based on brain biology.
Researches can bring out etiological diagnosis
of most diagnostic categories of mental illness.
58.
59. Mental health care delivery system is
grossly inadequate considering that there
are 20 million people needing care and
facilities have only 25000beds.
Programs for mental retardation; drug
addiction; suicide prevention and psycho
geriatric care.
60. INSTITUITIONAL CARE
41 mental hospitals with 20000 beds offers
institutional care.
Initially planned for long term custodial care;
these centers provides special clinics and
outpatient care.
The availability of most of most beds get
blocked by the long stay patients
61. AFTER CARE OPTIONS
Few organized services exists for the rehabilitation
of the mentally ill patients in India
The centrally supported institutes such as NIMHANS
Bangalore; Central Institute of Psychiatry(CIP)
Ranchi have well organized institutional
occupational and recreational services.
Voluntary organizations such as Schizophrenia
Research Foundation(SCARF) Madras; Sanjeevani
in Delhi; Abhaya in Trivandrum also involves in
after care options.
62. GENERAL HOSPITAL PSYCHIATRIC UNITS
Establishment of general hospitals
psychiatric units has led to a qualitative
change in overall psychiatric care.
Around 50000 beds are available; these are
largely in teaching hospitals attached to 67
medical colleges.
63. The emergency services treats acutely ill
patients
Often clients in a sub acute delirious state or
post febrile confusions are referred to these
centers.
Attempted suicide forms a large category of
referrals needs resuscitation and crisis
interventions.

The staff in an institution or a general hospital
psychiatric unit is comprised of;
Psychiatrists
Social workers
Nurses
Trained attendants
65. CENTER -STATE DIFFERENCES
The centrally supported institutions such as NIMHANS; CIP
and central organizations are well funded and staffed.
While others are inadequately supported.
CITY- DISTRICT DIFFERENCES
A few districts have psychiatric units functioning with one
psychiatrist and no other members of mental health team.
No psychiatric staffs are available beyond the district
settings.
66. The PHCs with it’s sub centers are the most
peripheral health posts catering to a few
villages
Recently a few PHCs have been upgraded to
form CHCs to look after 100000people.
68. NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM
Major objectives
To provide basic mental health care at the
grass root level; apart from ensuring
availability and accessibility of services to
most vulnerable and unprivileged sectors.
69. SPECIFIC APPROACHES OF NMHP
Diffusing mental health skills to the peripheral
health service system; territorial distribution of
resources and integration of mental health care
with general health services.
Voluntary agencies such as SCARF Madras have
implemented country based rehabilitation as a
part of NMHP in the district of Chinglepet in
Tamilnadu.
