- 0:25Psychiatry working at National Institute
- 0:28of Mental Health and neuros senses

- 0:32discussing about mental disability
- 0:34assessment which was notified on 12th
- 0:37March
- 0:392024 let's understand
- 0:41disability as per United Nations
- 0:44convention on right to persons with
- 0:46disability the disability
- 0:48definition which was given by the United
- 0:51Nation is very clear it is an evolving
- 0:55concept and results from the interaction
- 0:58between the persons with imp a
- 1:00Ms and attitudinal and environmental
- 1:04barrier that hinders their full and
- 1:07effective participation in society on
- 1:10equal basis with
- 1:12others this definition emphasizes that
- 1:15disability is not just a medical
- 1:17condition or an
- 1:19impairment but also results from the
- 1:21societal and environmental barrier that
- 1:25prevents the persons were disabled to
- 1:28equally participate in the
- 1:31society especially with mental
- 1:33disability the attitudal barrier of the
- 1:37general
- 1:38public the people in policy makers
- 1:43position and also the employees or the
- 1:47employers who are working there would
- 1:50not like to accommodate a person with
- 1:52mental
- 1:53illness they believe the person with
- 1:56mental illness is useless they are dis
- 2:00minated and
- 2:01stigmatized this attitudinal barrier is
- 2:04one of the biggest challenge for person
- 2:07with mental disability for them to
- 2:09participate in the
- 2:12society now let's look into the
- 2:14challenges with regard to mental
- 2:16disability
- 2:17assessment first and the foremost the
- 2:20diagnosis of mental illness is very
- 2:23difficult to diagnose unless a qualified
- 2:27psychiatrist sits with them as them
- 2:31thoroughly mental illness are dynamic in
- 2:34nature they fluctuate and also they are
- 2:38epid episodic in
- 2:40nature hence the earlier gazet
- 2:43notification discussed about temporary
- 2:46disability certificate and the permanent
- 2:49disability
- 2:50certificate let's look into the the
- 2:52newer Gazette notification what does it
- 2:54say about this temporary and permanent
- 2:58disability which is given for mental
- 3:01disability along with mental
- 3:04disability the myths stigma
- 3:08discrimination which is prevailing in
- 3:10society is huge because of this the
- 3:13attitudinal barrier for the effective
- 3:17participation of a person with mental
- 3:19illness is a big
- 3:22challenge with regard to provision of
- 3:24early diagnosis and treatment can reduce
- 3:28disability remark
- 3:30ably person with mental illness often
- 3:33finds it very difficult to communicate
- 3:35the challenges what they go through
- 3:38every day in their
- 3:40life not only
- 3:42this especially across the world limited
- 3:47access to mental health care
- 3:50nonavailability of psychotropic
- 3:51medication
- 3:53continuously nonavailability of
- 3:56Rehabilitation especially in the
- 3:57government setting all also comes in the
- 4:01way of their
- 4:04recovery as I mentioned societal
- 4:07attitude is the biggest
- 4:09challenge many a Time the people say
- 4:12mental disability is a invisible one
- 4:15because most of it is attitudinal at the
- 4:19same time stigma and discrimination and
- 4:22labeling them they are mentally ill
- 4:25hence they are not involved in any
- 4:27decision making or or allowed for
- 4:31Effective
- 4:33participation now let's look into the
- 4:36how The Gazette notification of 12th
- 4:38March 2024 discusses about mental
- 4:42disability there was a committee setup
- 4:45and the subcommittee for the assessment
- 4:48of mental disability these are the
- 4:52members Professor pankaj Varma sir was
- 4:55the chairperson along with six other
- 4:58people where
- 5:00the members of this committee let's look
- 5:04into this how this committee has done
- 5:06their
- 5:07job if you look at this Gazette
- 5:10notification it is more than 800 pages
- 5:15that means if you download that and go
- 5:18through it it is very difficult to find
- 5:20where mental disability assessment is
- 5:23there hence I have given the page
- 5:26numbers item number 24 deals with mental
- 5:29illness
- 5:30which is given in page number
- 5:33496 the ideas assessment is in appendix
- 5:3713 that is in page number
- 5:40848 if there is a suspicion if a person
- 5:44with mental illness
- 5:46also has intellectual disability that
- 5:50means his IQ is low then you need to do
- 5:54IQ assessment and also ideas
- 5:58separately since since the person has
- 6:00two different disabilities one is
- 6:03intellectual
- 6:04disability another one is mental illness
- 6:07that is mental disability hence you need
- 6:10to apply multiple disability formula for
- 6:13the assessment that has been clarified
- 6:16in this Gazette
- 6:18notification with regard to certifying
- 6:21permanent
- 6:23disability before you certify you have
- 6:25to make sure at least the person is
- 6:28suffering for continuously for 2
- 6:31years if it is less than 2 years you can
- 6:34give time validity disability
- 6:37certificate that means it will be given
- 6:40for 2 years maybe 5 years that means it
- 6:43is a kind of temporary
- 6:45disability person with mental illness
- 6:48who have who have not received any
- 6:50treatment and it is well known
- 6:52especially with
- 6:54schizophrenia the treatment Gap is huge
- 6:57and invariably 5 to six years is drug
- 7:00Nave that means many of them have not
- 7:03received any treatment before they come
- 7:05for treatment that
- 7:07means before you assess disability as
- 7:10soon as they come you have to make sure
- 7:13they have given or they have received
- 7:15adequate
- 7:16treatment that means we can give only
- 7:20the temporary disability that means
- 7:22timed validity disability certificate
- 7:24can be
- 7:26given before you give permanent
- 7:28disability make sure you have given
- 7:31adequate
- 7:33treatment adequate treatment is based
- 7:35upon the disability board discussion
- 7:39whether the person has received adequate
- 7:42trial for adequate duration and it is
- 7:46treatment resistant and the person has
- 7:49disability based upon that the permanent
- 7:52disability certificate is
- 7:54given if the treatment Nave patient
- 7:58reports to the OPD and they request for
- 8:01disability certificate in such a
- 8:03scenario the treating
- 8:05psychiatrist or the psychiatrist who is
- 8:07attending them for the first time need
- 8:10to educate the patient patient's family
- 8:13members and tell them there is a need
- 8:17for adequate treatment then only the
- 8:19permanent disability certificate can be
- 8:21given otherwise they are eligible for
- 8:25time validity disability
- 8:28certificate for a person with mental
- 8:30illness who have taken psychiatric
- 8:32treatment but did they do not have any
- 8:37medical records in such a scenario what
- 8:39to do this is the commonest scenario
- 8:42which we see in government
- 8:44hospitals the patient and the family
- 8:46members report to us and say that I have
- 8:49been taking treatment since 20 years
- 8:51from a psychiatrist in a private setting
- 8:55but I do not have any records what shall
- 8:58be done in such a scenario where the
- 9:00patient do not have any medical records
- 9:04again you need to educate them and tell
- 9:08them we will be able to give only the
- 9:10time validity disability certificate
- 9:13that is temporary you'll be given only
- 9:15for 2 years and the repeat assessment
- 9:18has to be done after 2 years in that
- 9:21period they have to come for regular
- 9:23followup and to evaluate how much he has
- 9:27improved permanent disability
- 9:28certificate ation will be issued based
- 9:31on the assessment of residual
- 9:34disability despite the
- 9:37appropriate
- 9:39evidence-based
- 9:40medication with adequate dosage and
- 9:43duration has been given without that the
- 9:46permanent disability should not be
- 9:48given with regard to who can be doing
- 9:52the
- 9:52assessment invariably there is something
- 9:55called as medical Authority earlier it
- 9:58was considered as a disability board the
- 10:00medical Authority the chairperson will
- 10:02be either the medical superent CMO or
- 10:05the civil
- 10:07surgeon further there should be a
- 10:09psychiatrist who will be doing the
- 10:12assessment the third person can be a
- 10:14psychiatrist physician clinical
- 10:17psychologist psychologist Rehabilitation
- 10:21psychologist and psychiatric social
- 10:23worker this Gazette notification has
- 10:26clearly
- 10:27mentioned across India there is a short
- 10:29AG of specialist in such a scenario if
- 10:32the government do not have the
- 10:35psychiatrist or the clinical
- 10:37psychologist psychiatric social worker
- 10:40or the
- 10:41physician the person from the private
- 10:44setting can be called to be in the
- 10:47medical Authority position and they will
- 10:49be signing in that position but however
- 10:53the chairperson must be a government
- 10:56employee and who is a medical superent
- 10:59CMO and civil surgeon this Gazette
- 11:02notification has helped many patient and
- 11:06is going to help many other
- 11:08people now let's go into ideas that is
- 11:12Indian disability evaluation scale for
- 11:14mental illness invariably we need to
- 11:17collide information from the patient
- 11:20patient caregiver and the medical
- 11:23records invariably if the psychiatrist
- 11:25has been seeing the patient for longer
- 11:28duration and he knows the patient very
- 11:32well patient's family members medical
- 11:34records are very well preserved the
- 11:36disability certificate can be given
- 11:39immediately if it is a new case you need
- 11:42to assess them thoroughly you need to
- 11:44ask for the medical records you may
- 11:46require to do inpatient admission and
- 11:51observation although the ideas which has
- 11:54been notified in the page number
- 11:57848 up and index 13 says that idea is
- 12:01good for op based assessment only that
- 12:05means it should not be used in IP
- 12:07setting is a big question which we need
- 12:10to ask if you look at the general
- 12:12guidelines which has been notified Under
- 12:15The Gazette notification clearly says
- 12:17ideas are suited for the purpose of
- 12:20measuring and certifying disability if
- 12:23it is there a brief and a simple
- 12:25instrument which is available which can
- 12:27be used in a busy clinical set
- 12:29and some training may be required and
- 12:32this is used only on outpatient basis
- 12:36and not appropriate for
- 12:38inpatients that means we should not give
- 12:42this disability certificate for
- 12:44inpatient that's what I can infer by the
- 12:48gazet notification that means we need to
- 12:51issue this disability certificate once
- 12:54they are in the outpatient coming for
- 12:57regular followup and still they have not
- 13:00improved if you have admitted the
- 13:02patient in IP setting invariably they
- 13:05are severe acute case that's what the
- 13:09the the drafter of this ideas has been
- 13:13thinking about hence my dear
- 13:16friends if you have to do ideas for
- 13:20person with mental illness it clearly
- 13:22has been notified in the page number 8
- 13:25848 that it is not appropriate for
- 13:28impatients
- 13:30what is appropriate is very difficult to
- 13:32Define here should we use it in
- 13:34impatient or not is a big question that
- 13:37needs to be clarified over a period of
- 13:39time maybe an amendment may be required
- 13:41for this hence please use this ideas
- 13:45only in outpatient setting and when we
- 13:48have medical records and when you know
- 13:51the patient is suffering for more than
- 13:53two years then only you you issue dis
- 13:57permanent disability certificate
- 13:59if you look at this again in the page
- 14:01number 849 it clearly says now the ideas
- 14:07or the mental disability can be given
- 14:09only for four
- 14:11illnesses that is
- 14:13schizophrenia bipolar disorder dementia
- 14:16and
- 14:17OCD what about other
- 14:19illness what about
- 14:21aerophobia what about recurrent
- 14:24depressive disorder what about the
- 14:27cognitive deficits
- 14:29what about substance abuse and
- 14:32dependence what about the people with
- 14:35borderline personality disorder Damia
- 14:39double depression schizoaffective
- 14:41disorder you cannot issue now that's
- 14:44what the gazet notification says this is
- 14:47the original ideas which was notified by
- 14:50the IPS that is Indian Psychiatric
- 14:53Society and it was submitted to the
- 14:55government of India unfortunately
- 14:59the same has been brought here although
- 15:01it has positive things but now you are
- 15:05restricting the ideas only for four
- 15:08disorders and not giving disability
- 15:12certificate for many other illnesses can
- 15:15be a violation of their rights because
- 15:19right to persons with disability 2016 is
- 15:22very clear that means we need to give
- 15:26for all mental illness this can be
- 15:29considered as one of the drawback of
- 15:31this
- 15:32notification further who can assess it
- 15:36is the only the psychiatrist who can
- 15:38assess and sign the other people who can
- 15:40do the assessment can be trained social
- 15:44worker psychologist and occupational
- 15:47therapist every psychiatric disability
- 15:50to be reassessed every two years unless
- 15:53it is notified or signed by the medical
- 15:56Authority as a permanent one and unless
- 15:59if it is the person is suffering from
- 16:01more than two years then only the
- 16:03permanent disability certificate can be
- 16:05given let's look into the domains of
- 16:08ideas there are four domains like the
- 16:11earlier one one is the self-care second
- 16:14one is communication and understanding
- 16:16third one is interpersonal
- 16:18activities and the fourth one is work
- 16:21and all these four
- 16:23domain considers to be a total
- 16:26disability scores and each domain is
- 16:29scored over
- 16:32four points zero is no disability one is
- 16:37mild disability two is moderate three is
- 16:40severe and four is profound disability
- 16:44that means in the four domains the
- 16:46maximum score is four 4 into 4 is the 16
- 16:50is the total disability score to know
- 16:53the global disability score one need to
- 16:56have this total disability score Plus as
- 16:59the duration of illness then only it
- 17:01will become Global disability score the
- 17:04duration of illness also is scored the
- 17:06maximum score is four so the total
- 17:09Global disability score the maximum will
- 17:11be 20 so that means my dear friends the
- 17:15total disability score plus duration of
- 17:18illness four item into 4 is 16 and
- 17:21duration of illness is four the maximum
- 17:23score is 20 now let's understand the
- 17:26global disability score how the
- 17:29assessment is done and how the duration
- 17:31of illness is calculated the first let's
- 17:34discuss about the
- 17:36self-care the self-care how it is
- 17:39assessed this should be regarded as an
- 17:42activity Guided by social norms and
- 17:45Convention that means based upon where
- 17:49the person is
- 17:50staying whether he is in a maybe in a
- 17:54area where it is very cold and they take
- 17:57bath once maybe a week once in a week or
- 18:02maybe daily or maybe daily twice if he
- 18:06is in a very sweating area or maybe in a
- 18:10person like in Rajasthan so the
- 18:13self-care needs to be based upon social
- 18:15norms and Convention that is the word
- 18:18it's very
- 18:19specific let's look into how the domain
- 18:22of selfcare is there how it has to be
- 18:25assessed maintenance of personal hygiene
- 18:28how the physical health what his eating
- 18:30habits maintenance of personal
- 18:32belongings and leaving space does he
- 18:35look after himself whether he washes his
- 18:37clothes regularly does he take bath does
- 18:40he brushes his teeth does he have
- 18:43regular meals does it take food of right
- 18:46quality and quantity what about his
- 18:48stable manners does it take care of his
- 18:51personal belongings with reasonable
- 18:52standard of cleanliness and
- 18:55orderliness now let's discuss about how
- 18:58the scoring is is done for the domain
- 19:00self-care zero means no disability one
- 19:04is mild itation but does not have any
- 19:06adverse Health
- 19:08consequences
- 19:09two there is a detoriation and Mild
- 19:14adverse Health
- 19:15consequences there may be physical
- 19:17health problem obesity tooth decay body
- 19:21order is there the third evidence of
- 19:26serious Hazard to f physical health
- 19:30malnutrition infection patient is
- 19:34unacceptable in public the person has a
- 19:37ha matted hair unhygienic ragged clothes
- 19:42can be considered three fourth is a
- 19:45constant supervision is required for
- 19:49self-care if nobody takes care of them
- 19:52their health dorat very fast now let's
- 19:56look into the interpersonal
- 19:59activities what are the anchor
- 20:02points here in interpersonal activity
- 20:04what is the social
- 20:06relationship patient's response to
- 20:09question how does a request what are his
- 20:13demands what about his activities how
- 20:16does he regulates emotion in Social and
- 20:19interpersonal situation whether he has
- 20:21activities who can initiate maintain and
- 20:25terminate the interaction activities of
- 20:28engage in physical
- 20:29intimacy further what is his behavior
- 20:32with others is he polite rude does he
- 20:36respond to question is he able to
- 20:38regulate verbal and physical aggression
- 20:41is he be able to act independently in
- 20:43social interaction how does he behave
- 20:46with strangers is he able to maintain
- 20:48friendship and relationship does he show
- 20:51a physical expression of affection and
- 20:53desire now let's look into the scoring
- 20:57with regard to interpers personal
- 20:59activities first one is if there is some
- 21:02friction on isolated occasion one is
- 21:07given second one is few occasions of
- 21:10that could be
- 21:11isolated himself from others and avoid
- 21:15companies third one is severe behavior
- 21:18problems in Social situation undesirable
- 21:21and generalized and he causes problem in
- 21:24daily living or work patient is socially
- 21:28OST ized the family refuses to take him
- 21:32outside invariably they believe if you
- 21:34take him outside he may misbehave and
- 21:37the people will come to know about his
- 21:39mental illness hence in the such a
- 21:43scenario three is given profound in such
- 21:46a scenario where the patient is serious
- 21:49has l in Conflict serious dangers to
- 21:53others and self in such a scenario there
- 21:56should be a one person available to
- 21:58monitor them that is four now let's look
- 22:01into the domain three communication and
- 22:05understanding in this the anchor points
- 22:08with regard to is understanding the
- 22:10spoken messages as well as written and
- 22:12nonverbal messages and ab ability to
- 22:15deduce messages in order to communicate
- 22:18with others now let's look into what are
- 22:20the question you need to ask does he
- 22:23avoid talking to people when people come
- 22:26home does he interact with them does he
- 22:28visit is it friends relatives social
- 22:31function does it start maintain and end
- 22:34conversation does he understand the body
- 22:37language of others does he understand
- 22:39the emotions of others does he indulge
- 22:42in Reading Writing do you encourage him
- 22:44to be more social so let's look into the
- 22:48scoring the scoring when is done patient
- 22:51is described as
- 22:52uncommunicative solitary in Social
- 22:55situation signs of social anxiety may be
- 22:57reported
- 22:59the two a very narrow range of social
- 23:03contact evidence of active social
- 23:05avoidance of people on some occasion and
- 23:08interference with performance of social
- 23:10rules and causes concern to the family
- 23:14three evidence of more
- 23:17generalized active avoidance of contact
- 23:19with people leaving the room when the
- 23:22visitors come do not go to any social
- 23:25function avoids the social function
- 23:27fourth one
- 23:29hardly has any contact actively avoids
- 23:32the P avoids people he may have
- 23:35delusions he may think that people are
- 23:37trying to harm him he may lock himself
- 23:40in the room and the communication is
- 23:43very minimal in such a scenario four has
- 23:46to be given now let's look into the the
- 23:49final one about the
- 23:51work the work has to be assessed based
- 23:54on the employment if she is a housewife
- 23:57what is the housework
- 23:59educational performance with regard to
- 24:01student score only one on the category
- 24:04in case of overlap that means if it is a
- 24:07housewife you need to assess the
- 24:09housewife area only if the person is a
- 24:12student you need to assess only the
- 24:13student and if he is working you need to
- 24:17assess the work the question is he
- 24:19employed or unemployed if he is employed
- 24:22does he go to work regularly does he
- 24:25like his job what about his coping with
- 24:27his job
- 24:28stress can you rely him on financially
- 24:32if unemployed does he make any effort to
- 24:35find the job what are his efforts to go
- 24:39to job if he's given a job will he's
- 24:42able to go to regularly does he make
- 24:44efforts to work with regard to
- 24:47concentration and
- 24:48attention in similar ways with regard to
- 24:52housewife you need to assess whether
- 24:54they are able to do work regularly
- 24:57whether they are able to efficiently
- 24:59cook whether they are able to clean the
- 25:01house keep it neat and tidy whether they
- 25:04are able to maintain the stress of being
- 25:06a housewife and able to cook for the
- 25:09whole family here you need to look into
- 25:12the acquiring the daily Necessities
- 25:15making storing serving food cleaning the
- 25:17house utensils and also looking after
- 25:20the maids cooks and looking after The

- 25:37future studies and his behavior in the
- 25:41college needs to be noted those who had
- 25:43discontinued education on account of
- 25:45mental illness we need to score four for
- 25:49them if you look at the
- 25:51scoring one there is a noticeable
- 25:54decline in patients ability to work to
- 25:57cope with it and meet the demands of
- 25:59work May threaten to quit very often but
- 26:01is going to work regularly two is
- 26:03declining with work performance frequent
- 26:06absence from the work lack of concern
- 26:10about all this regarding his
- 26:12responsibility financial difficulties
- 26:14are
- 26:15foreseen the three has to be scored when
- 26:18there is a mark decline in the work
- 26:20performance disruptive at work unwilling
- 26:24to ader to the work or discipline at
- 26:28work or the rules of at work threat of
- 26:31losing the job is there fourth as
- 26:34largely absent from the work termination
- 26:37is imminent suspension has been given
- 26:40unemployed making no efforts to find the
- 26:43job now let's look into the global
- 26:45disability score as I mentioned here the
- 26:48total disability score plus the duration
- 26:50of illness will be considered as Global
- 26:53disability score for the duration of
- 26:55illness how to score now now here for
- 27:00the purpose of duration of illness month
- 27:03of illness in the last two year has to
- 27:05be
- 27:06calculated if the person has less than 6
- 27:09months of illness the score one has to
- 27:11be given if the patient has illness for
- 27:147 to 12 months two has to be
- 27:16given if the patient is suffering from
- 27:20illness for more than 13 to 18 months
- 27:23that is between the 13 and 18 months
- 27:25three has to be scored if the patient
- 27:27has more than 18 months of illness then
- 27:30four has to be given here the duration
- 27:33of illness means he has to be ill
- 27:35continuously that is what is mention of
- 27:38months of illness in the last two years
- 27:41if the patient recovers within one month
- 27:44that means you have to score only one if
- 27:47the patient has illness since past two
- 27:50years and is continuously ill for only
- 27:52one year then you have to give the score
- 27:55of two that means
- 27:58months of being ill in the last two
- 28:02years that should be used for scoring
- 28:05now if you look at the low Global
- 28:07disability score total disability score
- 28:10plus the dis duration of illness each
- 28:13item is 4 into 4 16 and plus duration of
- 28:16illness four the total disability score
- 28:19the maximum Global disability score will
- 28:21be 20 let's look into this each domain
- 28:25has four 0 1 2 3 4 that is selfcare
- 28:28interpersonal activities communication
- 28:31and understanding and work that becomes
- 28:33the total score and the duration of
- 28:35willness 0 1 2 3 4 that will be added
- 28:39and total score will be 20 so let's look
- 28:42into one of the patient if he scores one
- 28:46on self-care four on interpersonal
- 28:49activities with regard to communication
- 28:51and understanding his scores one and
- 28:53with regard to work four that means he
- 28:56has lost the job and he's not making any
- 28:58efforts to find the job if you look at
- 29:01the total disability score will be 10
- 29:04for the assessment for the P purpose of
- 29:06duration of illness it is between 6
- 29:10months to 12 months so you'll be giving
- 29:13the score 2 so 10 + 2 will become 12 so
- 29:18the global disability score will be 12
- 29:21so here you'll not be able to give the
- 29:24exact
- 29:25percentage similar to the previous gazet
- 29:27notific ification this gazet
- 29:29notification also gives the range if it
- 29:33is 0o 0% disability if the score is
- 29:36between 1 to 7 that means it is less
- 29:38than 40% if the patient has 8 and above
- 29:41that means above
- 29:4340% is the number you have to give that
- 29:47means you'll be giving above 40% if the
- 29:50patient is scores eight and above if the
- 29:52patient is scores between 8 and 13 in
- 29:55the case wiget which we discussed it
- 29:57will be 12
- 29:58that means you'll be
- 30:00giving the disability as moderate if the
- 30:03patient scores somewhere between 14 to
- 30:0519 it will be termed as severe if the
- 30:09patient has 20 you'll be telling that as
- 30:11profound unfortunately we do not have
- 30:14the exact percentage that is 75%
- 30:1960% unfortunately many of the policy
- 30:22makers many of the people who are
- 30:24sitting in a employer's position in the
- 30:28government do not understand that the
- 30:31mental disability is given in the range
- 30:33not in the percentage hence many time
- 30:36they are refusing to give or uphold the
- 30:39mental disability certificate issue in
- 30:42such a in such a scenario whenever an
- 30:45employee refuses the mental disability
- 30:47based upon the range given as moderate
- 30:50severe or profound if they refuse to
- 30:53give please understand under the right
- 30:56to persons with disability Act of 2016
- 30:59you are having the rights please
- 31:02approach the disability Comm
- 31:04commissioner of the state and tell so
- 31:06and so employee employer is refusing to
- 31:09honor as per this gazet notification
- 31:12which clearly says that if I am scoring
- 31:1412 and it is moderate disability they
- 31:17have to give my rights that is the only
- 31:21way to go
- 31:22forward now let's look into the critique
- 31:24of this gazed notification
- 31:28they are clarified the duration of
- 31:30illness the previous notification had a
- 31:33very difficulty in understanding how to
- 31:35score duration of illness now they have
- 31:37given the clarity that is MI 2y that is
- 31:40months of illness in the past 2 years to
- 31:43be utilized for scoring that is a very
- 31:46good positive plus
- 31:47Point Clarity has been given with regard
- 31:51to treatment many a Time the patient may
- 31:53not take treatment and but he wants
- 31:55disability certificate hence adequate
- 31:57treatment has to be given as the clarity
- 32:00has been given with regard to medical
- 32:02records if it is not there time validity
- 32:05certificate has to be given again the
- 32:07clarity has been given Clarity on
- 32:10bringing the private psychiatrist into
- 32:13the medical Authority has been given and
- 32:17notified further mental disability again
- 32:20the score is is given in the range that
- 32:24means many a Time many of the employers
- 32:27Mir refuse to accept such certificates
- 32:30the only way is to approach the
- 32:32disability commissioner and give
- 32:34complaint telling that in spite of gazet
- 32:36notification they're
- 32:38refusing unfortunately this gazet
- 32:41notification gives opportunity for only
- 32:44four disorders that is schizophrenia
- 32:47dementia OCD and
- 32:49bpad and remaining disorders cannot be
- 32:54notified or cannot be given disability
- 32:57certificate and again the disability
- 32:59certificate is appropriate only for
- 33:01outpatient cases you cannot issue for
- 33:04inpatient cases that means it is said
- 33:07inappropriate for impatient
- 33:09case wish this committee should have
- 33:14considered developing a new scale which
- 33:18could have been comprehensive which
- 33:20could have looked into all other
- 33:22disabilities if you look at the
- 33:24literature now with regard to ideas
- 33:28there are literature which poures in
- 33:30with regard to ideas has been used in
- 33:33various disorders like depression sexual
- 33:37disorders
- 33:38agobia anxiety disorders Gad double
- 33:43depression even few case wigets with
- 33:46regard to personality disorders
- 33:48especially borderline personality
- 33:49disorders has also been noted that means
- 33:54the current Gazette notification can be
- 33:56considered as discriminating nature if
- 33:59they have other mental illness to
- 34:03conclude the idea scales which was
- 34:06originally notified by the Indian
- 34:08Psychiatric Society has been adopted by
- 34:10the government unfortunately only the
- 34:13four illnesses have been given the other
- 34:15mental illness has been kept outside the
- 34:17Ambit it can be used only in
- 34:20outpatient now it is time to look for
- 34:23the new disability scale although the
- 34:27idea medas which looks into only four
- 34:30illnesses but this was a definition
- 34:33which was there before
- 34:36uncrpd the current un crpd's definition
- 34:39is very wide which talks about
- 34:41disability as an evolving concept which
- 34:44is an interaction between the impairment
- 34:48and environmental and attitudinal
- 34:51barrier
- 34:52especially in the current Society the
- 34:56attitudinal barrier to towards the
- 34:58person with mental illness is huge that
- 35:00means the disability has to be given for
- 35:03all mental illness which is not been up
- 35:06upheld in the current GED
- 35:08notification thank you very much for
- 35:11giving your valuable time stay safe
