What's on the Other Side?

Here is a short film about the Institute of Mental Health in Chennai, India. Institute of Mental Health, Chennai is involved in Mental Health care for the past 206 Years. Founded in 1794 as an asylum to manage 20 patients, it has grown into an Institute with bed strength of 1800 patients. It is no more an asylum for custodial care but a place for enhancing mental health and a training centre for mental health professionals. Today Institute of Mental Health is the second largest Institute in India.
