THE PRACTICING PHYSICIAN AND MENTAL HEALTH

Neuropsychiatric disabilities are the number one problem in medicine. More specialists are needed in the field of neuropsychiatry. Better psychiatric orientation of nonpsychiatric physicians is needed and there must be infinitely more research into psychiatric problems. We need more adequately equipped and staffed hospitals, both private and public, to care for the problem, and an alerted public as well as a sympathetic, understanding medical profession.
