8 "... Freely you received, freely give”.

            - Matthew 10:8 :: New American Standard Bible (NASB)

 

1 “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,

7 always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.                                                                  

8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.

9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.”

            - 2 Timothy 3:1-9  :: New International Version (NIV)

 

6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

            - Hebrews 5:6 :: King James Version (KJV)

 

Therefore, I say:

Know your enemy and know yourself;

in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated.

When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself,

your chances of winning or losing are equal.

If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself,

you are sure to be defeated in every battle.

-- Sun Tzu, The Art of War, c. 500bc

 

There are two ends not to be served by a wanderer. What are these two? The pursuit of desires and of the pleasure which springs from desire, which is base, common, leading to rebirth, ignoble, and unprofitable; and the pursuit of pain and hardship, which is grievous, ignoble, and unprofitable.

- The Blessed One, Lord Buddha

Practice of psychiatry in India — some issues and differences

Psychiatry is an evolving speciality in India (Trivedi, 1998). The bulk of current training is in general psychiatry and liaison psychiatry. It is expected that training programmes in areas like child psychiatry and substance misuse disorders will evolve in the near future.

 

There are currently approximately 3000 psychiatrists in India. A significant number are in private practice. There is still a considerable number of so called ‘asylum era’ mental hospitals that house patients with chronic mental illness. Community psychiatry is not yet developed, although pilot schemes like the Raipur Rani project in Punjab (Wig et al, 1981) have shown its feasibility. At the moment community psychiatry services are functioning in Karnataka under the aegis of NIMHANS, Bangalore (Srinivasamurthy & Burns, 1992). This could serve as a model for further development of community services across the country. However, this appears to be low on the priority list of the government and funding is a major issue.

 

Although there is a Mental Health Act, use of mental health legislation is virtually non-existent, with most trainees having only read about it. The probable reasons for less reliance on the mental health law are cultural; family members often persuade patients to seek treatment and the advice of the doctor is often seen as binding. Similarly, the strength of social networks and involvement of the family in the management of the patient probably makes up, to some extent, for the lack of community care. Effective management of patients can be compromised because primary care is not well developed and lines of communication between the private and government psychiatrists are poor.

 

There are important differences with respect to developed countries in the epidemiology, manifestations and outcome of mental illness, which influence the practice of psychiatry in India (Varma & Das, 1995). Also, traditional medicine and religious beliefs play a large part in the treatment seeking patterns of patients. Large numbers of patients from rural areas are initially seen by religious healers (Kapur, 1975) and only ever get to see a psychiatrist (who are almost always urban-based) if the problems do not resolve. Many patients also seek treatment from alternative systems of medicine like Ayurveda and homeopathy. Stigma about mental illness is significant and symptoms of mental illness are often interpreted along religious lines. It has also been suggested that the practice of psychotherapy, as in the Western world, has to be adapted to Indian cultural beliefs (Neki, 1977).

 

Comment

Psychiatry is still an evolving speciality in India. There is an organised and well-proven postgraduate training programme; however, the number of training places and psychiatrists is low. Training in sub-specialities of psychiatry is in its infancy. The practice of psychiatry is affected by cultural factors, with many patients seeking treatment from magico-religious healers.

“Thou belongest to That Which Is Undying, and not merely to time alone,” murmured the Sphinx, breaking its muteness at last. “Thou art eternal, and not merely of the vanishing flesh. The soul in man cannot be killed, cannot die. It waits, shroud-wrapped, in thy heart, as I waited, sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know thyself, O mortal! For there is One within thee, as in all men, that comes and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!
