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 the Hony General Secretary

Dear Colleagues, Greetings from the office of Hon. General Secretary and welcome to the new look IPS website! I am feeling proud that IPS is becoming a visible force and audible voice. Last year we partnered in a visible social change on LGBT issue. Our Position Statement was produced as an authentic document in Honorable Supreme Court of India and it was surprising to know that it went viral and played important role in opinion making. Our three publication is now in the international market and all are doing well. This a new year for all of us. It has come with new challenges and we are meet. The performance of all the subcommittees was excellent last year and this year I am sure,we will be able to better our record.
Our #Mental_Hai_Kya_Title_Change movement is spreading and we have got some hint that we will succeed. Long Live IPS!

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.

A SURVEY OF PATIENT COMPLAINTS AGAINST PSYCHIATRISTS IN INDIA

Dear member/fellow,
Complaints against doctors are on the rise. Psychiatrists are no exception. All complaints have the potential to be escalated formally if they are not resolved at an early stage. Irrespective of their outcome, patient complaints can be a source of considerable personal and professional distress.
The Legal subcommittee of the Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) has been tasked with setting up a support system for members and fellows of the IPS to deal with these issues. In order to do this, it is crucial to have a baseline view the nature and types of commonly encountered patient complaints, and how these are usually resolved. This can help the IPS to develop resources to identify areas of good practice & potential risk factors, as well as support members to pre-empt such complaints, as well as manage them efficiently.
This survey is a scoping exercise to identify common complaints faced by psychiatrists and how they are currently addressed/ resolved. We would be grateful if you could complete the questionnaire below and provide information about complaints that you may have encountered (in your or other colleagues' practice) in the last 3 years. We may also wish to contact you for more details, if same is not sufficient in the completed form. All information provided in this form will be kept confidential. If you wish to remain anonymous, kindly select the appropriate option.
In order to complete the survey, kindly fill out the following form and press submit. The form takes around 5 minutes or less to complete. Kindly complete the survey within the next two weeks (10th July to 30th of July).

Click here to complete the survey!

Thanking you in anticipation of your participation,
Yours sincerely,
Dr. BN Raveesh
