Tamil Nadu Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences To Be Established by 2025
Tamil Nadu- Similar to the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in Bengaluru, Tamil Nadu is now set to establish the Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (TN-IMHNS) by early 2025. In March 2023, Rs 35 crore was sanctioned for TN-IMHNS's new building.
As per the recent report by TOI, the state government in the held assembly session announced that it will set up a centre to provide comprehensive care for neurology and psychiatry under one roof.
Meanwhile, talking about the construction of TN-IMHNS, M Malayappan, director of the Institute of Mental Health told TOI, “Construction began in Aug 2023, and three of the six floors have been completed. It will take another eight to 10 months to complete it”.
TN-IMHNS will be a centre of excellence that will conduct postgraduate and doctoral programmes in mental health and neurosciences and will also provide training programmes for mental health professionals. It will also be equipped to conduct research on a wide range of mental health and neurological disorders.
The institute will provide mental health services for people of all ages with a team of highly qualified psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric social workers, nurses and physicians. Though this centre does not provide treatment for problems such as speech disorders or movement disorders that people suffer after stroke or brain surgery, the new centre will be able to incorporate treatment and rehabilitation for such people as well, said M Malayappan, director of the Institute of Mental Health.
