Mental health interventions in low and middle income countries, with limited resources of human and other resources, requires that they be viewed from multiple viewpoints. This applies to the issue of covert medication, which on the face should not be practiced at all, in an ideal care situation. In India, it would be better to consider the use of covert medication, in differing situations and with the varying levels of involvement of patients and their families in a planned manner and with an open approach. Such an approach could meet the care needs of patients as well as protect the rights of the patients.
在资源有限的中低收入国家，精神卫生干预措施需要从多个角度来看待。这适用于隐蔽用药的问题，在理想的护理情况下，表面上根本不应该进行这种用药。在印度，更好的做法是有计划、公开地考虑在不同情况下、不同程度地让患者及其家属参与使用隐蔽用药。这种方法既可以满足患者的护理需求，又可以保护患者的权利。
