“…A total of 3082 patients were admitted in our setting during the 10 years. This number is slightly lower than that reported from an earlier study, where an average of 420 admissions/year was reported,[ 3 ] but slightly higher than the annual admission rate in a comparable study from Bhutan, where 1336 patients were admitted over 7 years, with an average of 190.9 admissions/year. [ 6 ] These variations may reflect variations in service availability and accessibility across different geographical locations.…”

“…A study from a GHPU in Imphal, in the northeastern part of India, revealed that over 2 years – around 420 patients were admitted per year, with the most common diagnoses being alcohol dependence in men and dissociative disorders in women, followed by psychotic and mood disorders. [ 3 ] Such service utilization is not uniformly distributed across a given year; a study from a GHPU in Chandigarh revealed that the bed occupancy rate was highest during the summer months (June and July). [ 4 ] No studies from South India have attempted to evaluate the profile of inpatients in GHPU's as in a larger country like ours; health policies and climatic variables differ between North and South India which influence admissions.…”

Background: Mental illnesses are becoming a major health issue across the world. The availability of inpatient facilities for mentally ill patients is very much limited in developing countries such as India. Aim: This study was aimed to explore the pattern of psychiatric admissions at a general hospital psychiatry unit (GHPU) in South India. Methodology: The study was conducted at a multispecialty tertiary care hospital in South India. A retrospective, chart-based study design was adopted to achieve the objectives. All inpatient case records available from the department of psychiatry, the medical records department, and the electronic hospital information system of the institute were reviewed between April 2006 and March 2016. Results: A total of 3082 patients were admitted as psychiatry inpatients during the 10-year study period, representing an average of 308.2 admissions per calendar year. The majority of inpatients were male ( n = 1824; 59.2%). Concerning diagnostic categories, mood disorders were accounted for 33.6% of admissions, followed by psychotic disorders (26.4%) and substance use disorders (19.3%), respectively. The median length of hospital stay was 14 days (range 0–163 days). A statistically significant seasonality pattern was noticed for mood disorders (December to February) and anxiety and neurotic disorders (August to October). Conclusion: It is obvious that treatment-seeking attitude among individuals with mental illnesses is increasing and the awareness regarding treatment aspects is also increasing among the general public. Hence, there is a need to improve the existing resources to facilitate intensive management for better treatment outcomes and this, in turn, will enhance the quality of life of mentally ill individuals.
