is because most of time you are not handling a concrete disease entity like in IM. You deal with
emotions, moods and abstract thoughts. Rewarding is because I love to listen to personal
stories and become my patients' real friends, and eventually helps them to deal with their
psychiatric illness.

drugs adding to our treatment arsenal.

recognize that in the future a substantial proportion of clinical care for psychiatric patients will be provided by
primary care physicians and other mental health professionals

prevent suicides, homicides and increase an individual's productivity in the society.

Interviewer : That’s true for sure. What Are Your Thoughts About The Role That Psychologists And Social Workers
Should Play In The Care Of Those With Mental Illnesses?

possible service to the mentally ill patients.

Interviewer : That’s very Inspiring Dr…What Thoughts Do You Have About Requiring Psychiatric Patients
To Take Their Medication?

Dr. KG : You can't force psychiatric patients to take their medication without their consent or their legal
guardian's consent. If the patients are declared incompetent and have no guardian, then you need a
court order.

Interviewer : And What Do You Think The Hardest Thing About Being A Psychiatrist Is?

Dr. KG : Sometimes you cannot help but getting emotionally involved with patients' treatment. If the
progress is very slow and full of ups and downs, you need to have great patience. Also often you
couldn't find a definite diagnosis for a mentally ill patient, and this can cause frustration. so how to avoid
burnt-out is the hardest thing.

Interviewer : Dr. you are doing a great job for all of us, I am very Thankful to you.

Dr. KG : It’s my Pleasure Dear..

Interviewer : Last but not the least Dr. what do you understand by Escapism. And how one can do about it? 5
Dr. KG : Escapism is the tendency to escape from the real world to the safety and comfort of a fantasy world. Since
life is innately stressful, coping strategies are essential to making it through each day.

Following are the ways to do away with escapism and embrace reality –

• Take up meditation
