  • I am immensely happy to learn that Himachal Hospital for Mental Health and Rehabilitation is launching the Hospital Website. “Advancing Knowledge of the Medicine has provided reliable care to the people with mental illnesses. Families of the patients, suffering from mental illnesses should visit the hospitals for the treatment of Mental illnesses shedding the social stigma.
  • Mental Health Care Act 2017 incorporates improvements over shortcomings in the Mental Health Act 1987 to take care of the people suffering from Mental illnesses. Government will undertake all possible measures to strengthen the mental health care services in the state.”

Colonel Dhani Ram Shandil

Hon’ble Health Minister H.P.

  • A report of the World Health Organisation revealed that 7.5 percent of the Indian population suffers from some form of mental disorder. The mental illness constitute one-sixth of all health-related disorders and Indian accounted for nearly 15% of the global burden. Mentally ill population is largely neglected in the society and given subhuman treatment.
  • The Himachal Pradesh Government is committed to implement the Mental Health Care Act, 2017, which intends to provide treatment and rehabilitation of the persons suffering from mental illness.

Dr. Sanjay Pathak

Sr. Medical Superintendent HHMH&R SHIMLA

  • The mental illnesses are there as a result of Bio-Psycho-Social aberrations. Genetic predisposition not withstanding family insulation and resultant psychological well being contributes a lot in the recovery and make the person with mental illness fit in the family and community as a functional member even if it is not fully functional.
  • The underlying motto of the hospital is to treat person with mental illness and to ensure family participation where ever possible, in psycho-education, in family therapy sessions and rehabilitation of the patient in the family setting as early as possible.
