摘要: Symposia Symposium 1 Development of Preventive Psychiatry Module for General Hospital Psychiatry Units (GHPUs) Rakesh K. Chadda, Mamta Sood, Rachna Bhargava, Bichitra Nanda Patra Department of Psychiatry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India The general hospital psychiatric units (GHPUs) provide comprehensive mental health services in the form of outpatient and inpatient clinical care, and training and facilities in mental health. Apart from reducing the stigma associated with illness, there is also a need to dispel some false beliefs that are present in the society regarding admission in psychiatry ward.[...] during admission, the staff needs to be more cautious in providing optimal care and support to these patients and their families because this can go a long way in determining and changing people's opinion about psychiatry as a whole.
