    Abstract Background: Stress and distress are common among Mental Health Professionals (MHP). MHPs avoid seeking professional help to address their stress, leading to increased vulnerability to stress and mental health conditions. Inadequately addressed stress directly impacts their service delivery and well-being. However, a serious dearth of literature from India has examined the extent of work-life balance (WLB) stress and psychological distress (PD) among MHP.
    Aim: This cross-sectional study aims to assess WLB and examine the relationship between perceived stress (PS), PD, burnout, and WLB among MHP in a tertiary care neuropsychiatry center.
    Methods: Using stratified random sampling, 101 MHP were evaluated using Pareek's work-life balance scale, Stamm's professional quality of life (ProQoL) scale, WHO's self-reporting questionnaire, and Cohen's perceived stress scale. Data were analyzed using appropriate parametric or non-parametric tests.
    Results: The overall mean score on WLB was 80.45 (SD = 10.21), the PS scale was 24.86 (SD = 6.87), the burnout score was 22.68 (SD = 6), the ST score was 21.18 (SD = 6.35), and PD score was 5.07 (SD = 5.23). The level of WLB score was average to below average among 64% of participants. There is a positive correlation between WLB and compassion satisfaction (CS) and a negative correlation between ST and PS. The study found that the nature of the job, CS, and PD shall predict WLB.
    Conclusion: Stress, burnout, ProQoL, and WLB of MHPs vary significantly by job, income, and staying with family, indicating that MHPs are equally vulnerable to stress and burnout and imbalanced WLB, which require appropriate interventions.

    Abstract Despite the potential and opportunity for nurses in mental health settings to deliver comprehensive care to individuals with severe mental illnesses, existing evidence indicates inadequacy in providing physical health care. To understand this gap, we examined the mental health nurse's attitudes, practices, training needs, and barriers toward physical healthcare of individuals with severe mental illness and explored the associated socio-demographic differences. All mental health nurses working in an apex mental health care center in India were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire, which included a socio-demographic profile and the Physical Health Attitude Scale (PHASe). Overall, the nurses held positive attitudes, with items related to smoking and confidence toward physical health care delivery showing more positive ratings than those items related to attitude and perceived barriers. Lack of motivation from patients and nurse's workload in provision of psychiatric care were perceived as major barriers. Nurses with lesser years of experience had a slightly more positive attitude. The findings have important implications for mental health nursing practice and training toward strengthening holistic nursing care for individuals with severe mental illness, specifically in countries with limited resources.

    Abstract The landmark judgment in the case of Indian Medical Association v VP Shantha in 1995 brought the medical profession under the ambit of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Consumer Protection Act, 1986, was later repealed and replaced by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. This article delves into the implications of the 2019 Act, highlighting significant changes in its scope, including the expansion of the definition of "consumer" and the incorporation of telemarketing and e-commerce within its ambit. Moreover, the amendments affect pecuniary jurisdiction, grounds for litigation, and introduce mediation cells, and the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA). This article underscores concerns related to an increase in frivolous cases against medical practitioners and in defensive practice, ultimately impacting the overall quality of patient care. Recommendations for timely redressal and safeguards against unwarranted litigation are proposed to mitigate the adverse implications of the amended Act and ensure the well-being of both healthcare providers and patients.

    Abstract A psychiatrist, in India, unlike in the western developed world often is required to play dual role of being a treating psychiatrist and that of an expert witness for the same patient. In the clinical scenario, the principle of therapeutic alliance comes into play, while in the court of law, he/she needs to play the role of assisting the judicial system to deliver "justice." Psychiatrist role in the court is directed by the court rules and not by the clinical rules. This chapter aims to describe the various roles played by the psychiatrist in the court room and provides a basic outline of the medicolegal expectations from a psychiatrist.

    Abstract Dengue is an arboviral infection endemic in tropical countries. Neurological sequelae to dengue infection are not uncommon, and psychiatric manifestations are increasingly reported. This narrative review aims to present the varied manifestations, postulated mechanisms, and the available treatment options for psychiatric morbidity associated with dengue. The evidence available from eight observational studies is summarized in this review. Depression and anxiety are noted to be prevalent during both the acute and convalescent stages of the infection. The presence of encephalopathy and other neurological conditions is not a prerequisite for developing psychiatric disorders. However, treatment options to manage such psychiatric manifestations were not specified in the observational studies. Anecdotal evidence from case reports is outlined. Special attention is paid to the role of epigenetic modifications following dengue infections and the role of histone deacetylase inhibitors in the management. DNA methylation inhibitors such as valproic acid play a significant role in reversing stress-, viral-, or drug-induced epigenetic modifications.
