Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao has expressed the opinion that the importance given to physical health in a stressful lifestyle needs to be given to mental health as well. He was speaking at the inauguration of the Annual Conference of experts on Mental Health organized in collaboration with the Clinical Psychology Society of India and the Clinical Psychology Department of NIMHANS. He said that we can maintain our mental health well by thinking positively.
It is also important to bring together a diverse range of mental health professionals, students, clinical psychologists, and psychologists to discuss mental health, new challenges and opportunities in a changing world. Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao said that these kinds of conferences are a good platform to share new ideas and research.
The importance of mental health and the role of clinical psychologists in addressing the mental health needs of the community is vital. Nimhans Institute is unmistakably a gem of the country in this regard. He said that it is fortunate that NIMHANS is located in Karnataka.
