The increasing number of women joining psychiatry is a relatively new phenomenon in the field of medicine. Keeping with the trends world over, the number of women psychiatrists in India has been on the rise over the last two to three decades. The authors searched various volumes of the Indian Journal of Psychiatry, recent membership directories of the Indian Psychiatric Society, website of the Medical Council of India and personal communications for contributions of the women psychiatrists in India. Women psychiatrists have a number of contributions to their credit in India. They have played important roles in the affairs of national professional organizations like the Indian Psychiatric Society and have contributed to the psychiatry education and research. However, they also suffer limitations because of the absence of adequate institutional support and policies looking into their specific needs.
越来越多的女性加入精神病学领域，这在医学领域是一个相对较新的现象。与世界趋势保持一致，在过去的二三十年中，印度的女性精神科医生人数一直在增加。作者搜索了《印度精神病学杂志》的各个卷册、印度精神病学协会的最新会员名录、印度医学委员会的网站以及个人通讯，以寻找印度女性精神科医生的贡献。印度的女性精神科医生有许多贡献。她们在印度国家专业组织的事务中发挥了重要作用，为精神医学教育和研究做出了贡献。然而，由于缺乏足够的机构支持和针对其特定需求的政策，她们也面临着限制。
