20. The Department of Psychiatry at NIMHANS, Bangalore, is a very
big department, in terms of bed strength and manpower. It is fulfilling
its role in various aspects such as manpower development, patient
care and research. The senior experienced faculty are in various
national and international committees and law making bodies. The
young faculty are also rapidly becoming wise and noticeable. One
notable thing is the way they keep reinventing themselves. The
department is in general friendly and has a benevolent big brother
attitude towards other clinical departments. They have a live and
let live attitude. I wish them continued growth and contentment.

Professor, Department of Neurosurgery,

My association with the Department of Psychiatry, NIMHANS, spans the last three
decades. It has gone through different phases – to begin with as a resident, sharing
overlapping grounds of training in neurology and psychiatry and
liaising clinically with the psychiatric trainees, and now as a faculty,
collaborating on clinical, training, research and administrative
areas. However, the ‘camaraderie’ has not changed and has
strengthened over time.
Exemplary training of the department in mental health ensures
skill-building, ground for ethical practice, a trend of striving for
excellence in trainees. It was the mental hospital in 1936 and later
setting up of the Department of Psychiatry in the year 1953 that
were the impetus for the development of many other departments in the institute and
setting up of NIMHANS in the seventies. The contribution of the department of the
psychiatry to the care of our patients and training of our residents can only be felt and
not be expressed in words. We owe a lot to the department which deserves accolades
on this occasion of celebrating 60 years.
