“BRAIN-MIND PROBLEMS & THEIR SOLUTIONS”

1
 INTRODUCTION

The Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IHBAS) was established to comply with the directive
of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in response to public interest litigation. The court observed that IHBAS should be an
apex institute similar to NIMHANS, Bangalore. The Institute is an autonomous body registered under the Societies
Act. The nature of the institute has been outlined as modern, state of the art tertiary care centre and post graduate
training Institute for Behavioural, Neuro and Allied Sciences.

IHBAS with a multidisciplinary approach is serving the people with the following major objectives i.e.

I To provide high quality super specialty care using state of-the-art technology in psychiatry, neurology,
Neurosurgery and Behavioural sciences:

II To conduct research in the field of Psychiatry, Neurology, Neurosurgery and Behavioural sciences; and

III To provide comprehensive training at MD, DM, M. Phil, Ph.D. & post doctoral levels in Psychiatry,
Neurology, Neurosurgery and Behavioural sciences.

The Institute utilizes a unique approach through its Clinical (Psychiatry, Neurology and Neurosurgery),
Social (Clinical psychology, Psychiatric social work and Medical Anthropology) and Basic Sciences (Neurochemistry,
Microbiology, Neuropsychopharmacology and Pathology) to ensure a truly comprehensive management of mental
and neurological disorders.

In pursuance of its objectives the Institute has been involved in the following activities.

 Hospital and community based patient care services including preventive/ curative and
rehabilitation services for the people of Delhi and neighbouring states of north India.

 Post graduate teaching/training in Psychiatry, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Clinical psychology,

Psychiatric social work, Psychiatric nursing and other related disciplines.

 Basic and applied inter-disciplinary research in Neuropsychiatry and Behavioural sciences.

The Hospital for Mental Diseases (HMD), Shahdara, was established in 1956 and converted into a
multidisciplinary institute under the Societies Act 1991. Since its inception in 1993, it has served as a good example
of how judicial intervention can bring about changes for the benefit of the patients.

IHBAS uses a multidisciplinary approach towards preventive, curative and rehabilitative aspects of mental
health and aspires to bring modern biological, physical and psychological knowledge combined with ancient wisdom
of traditional systems of medicine through a psychosocial and socio-cultural approach under one roof. This
integrated approach may help to unravel the myth of abnormal behaviour of human beings. One of the greatest
achievements of this institute in the initial stage has been that more than 300 long stay patients who recovered and
did not require any further hospitalization were successfully reintegrated into their families.

Today, IHBAS has developed into a unique apex institute using an integrated approach for the study of body,
mind and behaviour. The multidisciplinary approach reflects upon the three spheres of activities i.e., patient care
(including community oriented services), research, and teaching & training. The clinical services in the areas of
Mental Health, Neuro and Behavioural Sciences are supported by modern investigative procedures. Thus the
advances in the basic science’s research are integrated with the clinical services. This initiates both, new
responsibilities and new perspectives in further development of scientific and clinical activities of the institute.
Current activities of the institute include:

2
  Treatment of psychiatric, neurological disorders and neurosurgical intervention,

 Regional resource centre for Northern and Western India under National Mental Health Programme
(NMHP) and District Mental Health Programme (DMHP).

 A total of eight specialty clinics namely Child and Adolescent Clinic, Mental Retardation Clinic, Marital &
Psychosexual Clinic, Tobacco Cessation Clinic, Neuro Behaviour Clinic, Drug Abuse Treatment and
Rehabilitation Clinic, Movement Disorder Clinic, Epilepsy Clinic and Pain Relief Clinic& Pre-Anaesthetic
Check up Clinic are run by the institute covering specialized needs of patients with various disorders.

 Development of policies and programs related to mental health.

 Collection of epidemiological data on mental, behavioural and neurological disorders & development of
Community oriented services.

 Research in the area of biological and psychosocial aspects of mental disorders;

psychopharmacological aspects of alcohol abuse and drug dependence; vascular and degenerative
disorders of central nervous system; application of newer psychopharmacological approaches in the
treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders.

 Postgraduate training in Clinical Psychology Psychiatry, Neurology, Neurosurgery and other allied
disciplines.
