“…Leading psychiatrists have written on 'Making psychiatry a household word', 98 'Tasks before psychiatry today', 99 'Public mental health, an evolving imperative' and 'Mental health carea universal challenge'. [100][101][102] As the NMHP enters the fourth decade of implementation, there is a new awareness of mental health issues among the public. A good illustration is the response of the public, press, planners, professionals and judiciary to certain events.…”

A network of decentralized mental health services for ameliorating the more common categories of disorders is envisaged. The programme outline for such a disease would involve the diagnosis of common disorders, and the prescription of common therapeutic drugs, by general duty medical staff. In regard to mental health institutions for indoor treatment of patients, the Policy envisages the upgrading of the physical infrastructure of such institutions at Central Government expense so as to secure the human rights of this vulnerable segment of society.' 1

“…The programmatic elements of NMHP have also not kept up with the various developments in mental health, especially in the area of public education, public-NGO partnerships, manpower development, coverage of urban and semi-urban areas, especially integration with general medical practitioners, etc. [ 30 31 ] Likewise the efforts at education and de-stigmatization from the GOI are miniscule, such as few radio and TV spots in different languages.…”

The 2nd Indo-US Health Care Summit held in January 2009 was a forum to discuss collaboration between physicians in the US and India on medical education, health care services and research. Six specialties were represented including Mental Health (MH). Using Depression as the paradigmatic disorder, the following objectives were developed.Objective I – Leadership and Public Education:Linkage with like-minded agencies and organizations. The core message should be simple. Major Depression is a brain disorder. Depression is treatable. Timely treatment prevents disability and suicide.Objective II – Medical Education:To improve psychiatric education, it was proposed that (1) relations between US/UK and Indian mid-level institutions be established, (2) teaching methods such as tele-psychiatry and online courses be pursued, (3) use models of teaching excellence to arouse student interest, and (4) develop core curricula for other branches of medicine, and CME.Objective III - Reduce Complications of Depression (Suicide, Alcoholism):Goals include (1) decriminalizing attempted suicide, (2) improving reporting systems, and including depression, psychosis, alcoholism, and suicide in the national registry, (3) pilot studies in vulnerable groups on risk and interventions, and (4) education of colleagues on alcoholism as a link between psychiatric and medical disorders.Objective IV - Integrating MH Treatment & Primary Health Care:The focus should be on training of general practitioners in psychiatry. Available training modules including long distance learning modules to be suitably modified for India.Collaborations and specific project designs are to be developed, implemented and monitored by each specialty group and reviewed in future summits.
