The status of mental health in India has still been a matter of grave concern for the health management systems of the country. Practices related to mental health of individuals has evolved from a state of denial of mental illness to a currently changed situation as now even the rural population is bringing the effected individuals to formal health care institutions. An effort has been made by authors to examine various mental health practices, issues related to mental health, and their current status in India. The traditional healing practices and beliefs related to mental health in India have been explored in detail. The treatment efficacy of the scientific psychotherapeutic techniques emerging from ancient Indian thinking has also been discussed. The myths, beliefs and reasons for not approaching a mental health professional by the client or their caregivers as specific issues of concern have been described. Finally, the last section of the paper discusses the current status of community mental health, disaster management systems, progress of psycho-oncology, and emergence and scope of tele-psychiatry in India.Keywords

The present work aimed to outline the pattern of child and family factors, which facilitate an effective and sustainable positive adaptation in the presence of chrome disease such as Turners Syndrome. The current level of cognitive and emotional functioning of the child as well as family functioning in terms of stress and coping pattern of the parents were assessed in detail, in relation to chrome illness. This was followed by the intervention provided by a Clinical Psychologist along with the pharmacological management by the Medical specialist and Occupational therapy. Promoting the strengths of the child while she was undergoing a negative experience along with adaptability and coping strategies of family members and an opportunity to seek help were relevant for child's well-being. The case report highlighted that caring relationships, positive expectations and opportunities for meaningful participation provided by the family, school and community go a long way in promoting child's ability to resist adversities as well as moderating the risk factors.Keywords
