strong medicine for doctors

Psychiatry is the proper concern of all doctors, not only of Psychiatrists.

1

Only a small proportion of psychiatric illness in the community is seen and can be treated by psychiatrists. In a country as well developed as the Britain only 50 out of 1000 cases of psychiatric illness is treated by psychiatrists.

2

Great number of psychiatric morbidity falls in the clinical domain of non psychiatrists: general practitioners, physicians, surgeons, obstetricians and gynecologists and also neurologists.

3

Another reason for requiring all doctors to be psychiatrically informed and skilled is that psychiatric disorder and physical illness frequently occur in the same patient patient.
Summary:
Competent doctor is equipped with psychiatric knowledge, skills and professional attitude to provide adequate psychiatric care.

Psychiatric Knowledge is part of the clinical equipment of all doctors.
Mind the minds of mindful doctors.
