The importance of continuing treatment even after recovering from mental illness, consequences if someone stops, and other aspects, were explained to patients and their attendants at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) in Erragadda on Saturday.
In the run-up to World Mental Health Day on Sunday, a series of awareness programmes were held for various sections at the institute: patients, doctors, nurses, and other staff, said IMH superintendent Dr. M. Umashankar.
“Patients with mild mental illnesses, and those who have recovered, were also explained the medical services offered in various districts, and where they can get medicines,” said Dr. Umashankar.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
