History is a screen through which the past lightens the present and the present brightens the future. Psychiatry by virtue of its ability to deal with human thoughts and emotions and provide a pathway for healthy minds provides an important platform towards being a mentally sound human being and largely the society. This review takes a sneak peek into the foundations of modern psychiatry in India. The description is largely based on the time frame, which provides a better understanding of the factual information in each period starting from the Vedic era and culminating in the post independence period.
历史是一个屏幕，通过它，过去照亮现在，现在照亮未来。精神病学凭借其处理人类思想和情感的能力，为健康的心态提供了一条途径，从而为成为一个心理健康的人和社会提供了一个重要的平台。这篇综述对印度现代精神病学的基础进行了窥探。描述主要基于时间框架，这有助于更好地理解从吠陀时代到独立后时期每个时期的真实信息。
