Abstract:

The Indian Constitution guarantees all fundamental rights to mentally ill people. Gender is a significant factor when a woman develops a mental illness, the necessary assistance is sometimes tardily sought. Although laws exist to safeguard the rights of mentally ill women receiving institutionalised care in India, execution is still a pipe dream. Women who are institutionalised with mental illnesses might experience change in their life and see improvements in their mental health with coordinated efforts at the social, political, economic, and legal levels. This research focuses on the issues

Abstract:

This article addresses how mental illness and psychiatry are dealt with in fictional narrative. The starting point is Charlotte Bronte's novel Jane Eyre. The characterisation of madness in that novel provides the basis for exploring how the physical and psychological differences of mentally ill people are portrayed, and how violence and the institutional care of people with mental illnesses are depicted. It is also argued that the fact that in Jane Eyre, Bertha Mason, the madwoman in the attic, is rendered voiceless is not accidental but emblematic of the depiction of mentally ill people in fi

The relationship between childbirth and serious mental illness has been known since the time of Ancient Greece. It was first described in the psychiatric literature by Esquirol and later by his pupil Marcé in 1857.

There are few events associated with such a measurable and predictable risk to mental health as childbirth, with its nine months warning. Despite this, there is little awareness amongst general psychiatrists of the predictable and manageable risk that faces many of their female patient

Although the “chronically mentally ill” have become a subject of national concern and although differences among the young, old, and minorities have been recognized, sex differences have been largely ignored.

Research is presented from a review of 320 hospital records of patients served in seven community and state hospitals throughout Michigan, encompassing client variables and service information. Significant sex differences were found for client age, marital status, living arrangement, diagnosi

Background and Aims: In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the need to protect human rights in psychiatry.
