Spirituality, Science and Mental Health |
p. 57 |
GR Golecha PMID:21584148My dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,
I consider it a great privilege and pleasure to address you this morning as the next President of Indian Psychiatric Society. I am most grateful to the fellowship of the society for bestowing their trust and confidence in me and having elected me to the highest position in the profession at the national level, which had been a cherished dream for me. I feel humble when I think of the great stalwarts who have been the past Presidents of this great society. Amongst this galaxy of luminaries are my mentors, senior colleagues and friends who had contributed in a big way to the development of psychiatry and moulded the mental health services in our country. I shall endeavour to hold the great traditions led by them for the furtherance of the aims and objectives of our society. I have been participating in the affairs of the society for more than twenty years now, and was actively involved in different capacities as a fellow, member of the executive council, the honorary treasurer, as Vice President and now as the President. With your good wishes and kind co-operation I shall try, to the best of my capacity, to carry out the onerous duties and responsibilities that you have entrusted to me.
Each of my honorable predecessors had delivered their presidential address on a specific theme; I too will like to do the same. The theme of my today's address is, "SPIRITUALITY, SCIENCE & MENTAL HEALTH". |

p. 86 |
RK Chadda, S Shome PMID:21584151The present work was carried out to study the awareness of non-psychiatric clinicians working in a teaching general hospital about the frequency of psychiatric morbidity in their clinical practice, their utilization of psychiatric consultation services, and opinion about utility of liaison psychiatry in general hospitals. A substantial proportion of doctors underestimated the psychiatric morbidity especially about unexplained physical symptoms and specific depressive symptoms in their patients. Psychiatric consultation services were not sufficiently utilised by a large number of clinicians. Most ofthemfelt the need to improve upon undergraduate medical education in psychiatry in India as well as a desire to have consultation - liaison psychiatric units in India. |

Sexual Abuse in Childhood : A Report of Four Cases |
p. 96 |
Alice Cherian, K Kuruvilla PMID:21584153Sexual abuse of children and adolescents is prevalent across all cultures. Sexual abuse often begins in infancy or toddler stage for many children. A Child's developmental level influences the detection and disclosure of sexual abuse. Pre-school children very rarely make verbal disclosures, but may present with behavioural and physical symptoms. Older children may make a conscious decision to reveal the abuse, but often feel that they risk their safety in making a disclosure. This paper reports four cases of sexual abuse detected in a clinic during a period of 12 months. The age group of these children ranged between 4-12 years. |

p. 104 |
Rajesh Mohan, KP Suresh, K. M R Prasad, MV Ashok, Chittaranjan Andrade, KN Sreenivas, SK Chaturvedi PMID:21584155This retrospective chart review attempts to compare the utility, safety and efficacy of once daily (OD) versus divided dose (DD) lithium therapy in the prophylaxis of mood disorders. Sixty-six patients who met DSM-II1R criteria for mood disorders were grouped into those on OD Lithium (n=31) and those on DD lithium (n=35). The groups were matched on sociodemographic and clinical variables. The total daily dose was similar in the two groups, but the OD group tended to have higher serum lithium levels while the DD group tended to have a greater number of affective episodes during the period of follow up. The implications are discussed. |
