Private Practice in Psychiatry in India–Development and Seasonal Variations
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Private Psychiatry - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Sixteen years records of a private practice clinic have been analyzed. A total number of patients increased to three times while new patients increased to one and a half times. The reasons for a steady increase have been highlighted. The clinicians will need to improve communication as well as care for the needs and sensitivities of the patients. Seasonal variation was observed at the time of change of season. Lowest attendance was seen in February. There is a need to develop a database so that future clinicians could be guided properly
