Buddhi Clinic, The Hindu to organise webinar on future of integrative mental health

Buddhi Clinic, in collaboration with The Hindu, is set to host a webinar titled 'The Future of Integrative Mental Health'. This event aims to delve into the evolving landscape of integrated mental healthcare in India, emphasizing the need for a blend of mainstream medical practices and evidence-based traditional and complementary approaches such as Yoga, Naturopathy, and Ayurveda.

The discussion will concentrate on how these interventions can be incorporated into the current framework for treating mental health, neurological, and psychiatric disorders. Key topics will include policy-level discussions on establishing integrative mental health as a specialized field in India, the role of policymakers and institutions in shaping this emerging sector, and the path towards a more holistic, accessible, and evidence-based model of mental healthcare.

The webinar will be led by Ennapadam S. Krishnamoorthy, a behavioural neurologist, neuropsychiatrist, and the founder of Buddhi Clinic, B.N. Gangadhar, a distinguished scientist from AYUSH, and Shivarama Varambally, a professor from the department of psychiatry at NIMHANS. Scheduled to take place at 5 p.m. on August 21, the event will be moderated by Soma Basu, a journalist. Interested individuals can register for the webinar at https://newsth.live/THBCE.
