Psychiatry
Psychiatry at Shrinivas G applies a biopsychosocial lens to mental-health education in a state where access gaps remain wide. A 30-bed inpatient ward addresses acute psychosis, mood disorders and suicidal crises with multidisciplinary teams of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and occupational therapists. Outpatient clinics handle anxiety, geriatric dementia and child-behaviour disorders, integrating family therapy and culturally attuned psychoeducation.
Students rotate through a dedicated de-addiction centre delivering pharmacotherapy, CBT and yoga-based relapse prevention—crucial in regions battling opioid and alcohol misuse. Consultation-liaison rounds teach early detection of delirium, perinatal depression and chronic-pain comorbidity on medical and surgical floors. Research on stigma, suicide epidemiology and school-based resilience secures ICMR and WHO SEARO grants, while a 24×7 crisis helpline staffed by trainees offers real-time community impact. Graduates leave able to navigate both pharmacologic protocols and therapeutic dialogue—skills essential for Bihar’s evolving mental-health landscape.
