A couple of decades back, people were scared to consult a Psychiatrist foreseeing the embarrassment they may receive from the society. Later a remarkable change in attitude took place even among the public of under developed countries and people started realizing the actual concept of Psychiatric disorders. Now people feel free to consult a Psychiatrist at ease as they consult any other specialists. Today around 50% of the patients of a Psychiatrist are children between the age of 10 to 20.

Our Department of Psychiatry offers full range of Psychiatric Services covering childhood to genetic psychiatric disorders, with a special area of interest in Childhood and Adolescent Psychological difficulties.
