IMPORTANCE OF PSYCHIATRY DEPARTMENTS The World Health Organization estimates that by 2020, mental depression will be the largest cause of disability worldwide. It also says that by 2025, mental illness will catch up with heart disease or may even overtake it as the biggest global health concern. The National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) in Bangalore estimates that two crore Indians need help for serious mental disorders, while a further five crore suffer from mental illnesses not considered very serious. These figures do not include neurological age- related progressive disorders such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons. 5. It also estimates that at least 35 lakh Indians need hospitalisation on account of mental illnesses. But the country has only 40 institutions that are equipped to treat patients suffering from mental disorders. The total number of beds is less than 26,000. Of these 40 institutions, only nine are equipped to treat children. Moreover, many ofthem are medieval-era, asylum-style institutions with high boundary walls, artificial barriers and patients kept in solitary confinement. "We need to get out of this mental hospital structure. More importantly, we need to stop reinforcing negative stereotypes of the mentally ill," says Vandana Gopikumar,member of the policy group appointed by the Union health ministry to frame a national mental health policy. 6.
