706
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • High prevalence of psychiatric disorders observed in prison populations globally.
  • Limited research on the mental health of prisoners in India.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the socio-demographic profile of prisoners in a central jail.
  • To determine the current prevalence of psychiatric disorders among this population.

Main Methods:

  • Random sampling of 118 prisoners for socio-demographic data collection.
  • Assessment using the Indian Psychiatric Interview Schedule (IPIS) for psychiatric disorder diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • 33% of prisoners exhibited psychiatric disorders, including psychotic (6.7%), depressive (16.1%), and anxiety disorders (8.5%).
  • A significant proportion (58.8%) had a history of drug abuse/dependence prior to incarceration.
  • The study population comprised mostly males (97.5%), from rural areas (57.6%), with a history of criminal behavior in 32.2% of families.

Conclusions:

  • Prisons in the Hadoti region are centers for individuals with substantial unmet psychiatric treatment needs.
  • Incarceration negatively impacts mental health, necessitating urgent prison reforms.
  • The findings underscore the critical need for improved mental healthcare services within correctional facilities.
