PSYCHIATRY
Supporting mental wellbeing through compassionate, confidential and evidence-based
care.
Psychiatry integrates biological, psychological and social understanding to help future
physicians recognise mental illness, respond to distress and treat each person with dignity.
The Department of Psychiatry at SBR Institute of Medical Sciences is planned to build a strong foundation in recognising and assessing mental health conditions across different stages of life while promoting compassionate, evidence-based and patient-centred care.
