    Abstract

    Psychiatry in Kerala has come a long way from its humble beginnings. But, in the olden days, psychiatry practice used to be different; it was more holistic. Now, the focus is more on biological insights and novel technologies. As psychiatrists, we have to remain holistic in our clinical approach and manage our patients with a biopsychosocial perspective.
