Abstract
Mental health is one of the important aspects in one’s life apart from physical, spiritual and financial well being. A healthy mind is believed to be a key in achieving satisfaction in an individual’s life and it helps a person to cope with the normal stresses of everyday life, work efficiently and make a positive contribution to the society. Psychiatry is a relatively new specialty as compared to other branches of the medical sciences. Undergraduate medical students have been found to have multiple lacunae in their knowledge toward psychiatry, psychiatric disorders, psychiatric patients and psychiatric treatment. Adequate exposure to the subject of psychiatry is necessary through didactic lectures, clinical postings and case discussions to dispel these apprehensions, fears and misinformed notions concerning the subject and approach to psychiatric patients. In the present study we are trying to assess the attitude of mbbs students towards psychiatry among students who have just joined medical college and compare them with final year students who have completed their postings and lecture series.
