Abstract

At the time of independence the Mental Health Care Services in the country were confined within the walls of three Mental Hospitals situated in Lahore, Hyderabad and Peshawar. During the last fifty years great development has taken place not only in the provision of Mental Health Care Services through the establishment of Psychiatric Departments in the teaching hospitals and at District Headquarters Hospitals level but a lot of research work has been carried out by professionals in the field and psychiatric services have been taken to the door steps of people in rural areas through satellite clinics and outreach programmes. This paper reviews the progress of psychiatry from Mental Hospitals to the establishment of Academic Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences.
