Area of Science:

Medical Education

Psychiatry

Background:

Mental health conditions represent a significant global disease burden.
Non-psychiatrist medical professionals manage a substantial number of mental health cases.
Assessing the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of these practitioners is crucial for improving care.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the understanding, attitudes, and treatment approaches of non-psychiatrist medical practitioners concerning mental health problems.
To identify gaps in training and identify areas for professional development.

Main Methods:

A semi-structured performa was used to interview 100 Allopathic, 25 Homeopathic, and 25 Ayurvedic medical practitioners.
Data collected focused on knowledge, attitudes, and current treatment practices for mental health issues.

Main Results:

High awareness (95%) among practitioners regarding the causes, prevalence, and available treatments for mental health problems.
While counseling and medication are common treatment modalities, 69.9% reported no formal training in their administration.
A significant majority expressed a need for enhanced training.

Conclusions:

Nearly all practitioners (98.5%) involved in primary mental healthcare recognize the need for formal training.
Improved training and orientation are essential to enhance the quality of mental healthcare services delivered at the primary level.
