Ushering in the 21st Century

چکیده
The 21st century is round the corner. All the professional organisations are getting ready to usher it in. The present time could be considered as the most appropriate time for this national organisation of ours, to focus its attention on planning and taking necessary actions so that 21st century becomes a welcome event and not a situation of panic and alarm. The mental health professionals and the psychiatric organisations in other countries are initiating the programmes which must be developed to stand upto the challenges, which will be thrown up by the modern technological developments of the 21st century. Our experience of the past, reminds us that the developments in the fields of science and technology are accompanied by changes in human living. It would be imperative that the sociocultural and geopolitical changes which will occur, will definitely create an accentuation of the well known psychiatric and psycho-social morbidity and also it is possible that some problems which are as yet, not knwon or less known may also come into prominence. As intelligent and responsible members of the society at large and psychiatry in particular, it becomes a moral obligation and responsiblity to concern ourselves about these problems, not only their identification and methods of management but also strategies of preventing them. Even this viewpoint can be considered as myopic because, our goal cannot be restricted to prevent an illness but it must be promotion of positive mental health.
