Forensic psychiatry is in its infancy in India. There is a clear module or a well-structured training in the country except for recently opened few courses. Lack of trainer in the field might lead to compromised state when one has to take decision between the well-being of a person versus society. Starting from social contexts, such as marriage and mental illness, to the interpretation of criminal mind, there is a multitude of situations where forensic psychiatrist has a handful of jobs which suffer due to lack of infrastructure. In this article, we delineate the importance of a forensic psychiatrist in different civil as well as legal scenarios and difficulties often faced while handling it.
法医精神病学在印度尚处于起步阶段。除了最近开设的少数课程外，该国没有明确的模块或结构完善的培训。当必须在个人福祉与社会福祉之间做出决定时，该领域缺乏培训人员可能会导致情况受损。从婚姻和精神疾病等社会背景，到对犯罪心理的解读，在众多情况下，法医精神病学家有一系列工作因基础设施不足而受到影响。在本文中，我们阐述了法医精神病学家在不同民事和法律场景中的重要性以及处理这些场景时经常面临的困难。
