  • Gay rights, Psychiatric fraternity and India

    The recent past has been turbulent for Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people and Gay Rights in India. The Delhi High Court’s landmark judgment in July 2009, which read down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, was a major victory. It held that Section 377 to be violative of Articles 21, 14, and 15 of the constitution, as it criminalized consensual sexual acts of adults in private.[1] The judgment struck down a 19th century law, which the police used to threaten and blackmail LGBT people. Violation of the law is punishable by a fine and imprisonment. Subsequently, India’s Supreme Court issued a ruling against human rights by reinstating the law that bans gay sex in 2013.[2] The response from mental health and legal establishment to this manifest bigotry was weak.[3] The hesitancy of the establishment to clearly support LGBT rights exposes their subscription to prevailing societal prejudices.

Message from the President's desk

I am grateful to everyone who wished, voted, supported & encouraged me and my campaign to contest for the post of president. I express my humble respects to all the past presidents and office bearers of Indian Psychiatric Society who through years of hard work have brought this organization to such great heights. I am privileged to be working with the current office bearers who are not only eminent psychiatrists of India but also warm, humble and emotionally charged individuals who will give new directions to the IPS. My mission is to make society audible at every level. IPS will fight for the rights of the people with Mental Illness. We will advocate for the health insurance rights of psychiatric patients. We will raise awareness and toil to remove stigma associated with Mental illness. We will strive to protect our fellow psychiatrists from medical litigation. We will usher in an era of digital mental health in our country and above all, I will strive to make IPS a true democracy, where the society is driven by the members and works for the members.

Message from Ex‐President IPS, on IPS Taskforce

The Indian Psychiatric Society in 2017, constituted a Task Force on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. The Task Force, now partially re-constituted, continues its work to endorse the stance of the Society that Homosexuality should not be considered a mental illness, much less a crime.
