The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic posed unique challenges in conducting postgraduate exit exams in psychiatry. Many patients could not travel to the hospital due to lockdown. Patient and student safety were essential considerations. Getting external examiners was a challenge. Instead of actual patients, the exam pattern was modified to utilize case vignettes, case histories, and trained volunteers. The novelty of the experience and shortcomings of conducting postgraduate exit exams without a patient at a tertiary care center is described in this article.

Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects 2-4% of the population and may manifest at a very young age. However, many may have obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms without meeting the criteria for the disorder. The aim of this study is to investigate the manifestation of obsessive-compulsive symptoms and contributory factors such as perceived parenting styles and their predominance in firstborns and only children specifically in an Indian context. Materials and Methods: The sample comprised 100 young adults (50 firstborns and 50 only children) between 18 and 25 years of age, who have not been clinically diagnosed with OCD or any related disorders. A purposive sampling method was used to select the participants. Tools used for the study included sociodemographic details, an “Intrusive Thoughts Task”, Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised, and the Parental Authority Scale. Results: On comparing both groups on all dimensions, the Father Authoritarian dimension (p = .017) was statistically significant. There was no significant difference in the manifestation of OC symptoms between firstborns and only children. Authoritative parenting styles were perceived to be more prevalent within the sample. Conclusion: The findings of the study provide insight into the potential symptomology of OCD in firstborns and only children as well as open up various areas of inquiry that must be taken into consideration for future studies relating to changes in parenting styles in the 21st century.

Context: Gender is an important factor in determining mental health and mental disease. Women are particularly vulnerable to mental health disorders due to a lack of family support, stigma surrounding mental illness, separation, emotional stress, financial dependency, domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Destitute or homeless women have a disproportionately high risk of mental illness. Aims: To determine the prevalence of psychiatric illness and related psychosocial determinants among inmates of a state-run home for women. Settings and Design: This is a single-center, cross-sectional descriptive study. Inmates of a state home for women in the northern part of Karnataka who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited. Materials and Methods: Eighty participants were evaluated using semi-structured proforma for psycho-social aspects. MINI-PLUS version 5.0 was used to screen the inmates for psychiatric morbidity and the diagnosis was confirmed using the International Classification of Diseases-10. Appropriate statistical tools were applied for the analysis. Results: Majority of the participants (78.75%) were diagnosed to have some psychiatric illness. The most common psychiatric morbidity was psychosis (35%), followed by affective disorders such as major depressive disorder (15%), bipolar disorders (10%), somatization disorders (7.5%), dysthymia (6.5%), and anxiety disorder (5%). Some of the psychosocial factors assessed, namely, marital status, employment status, and poor family support were significantly associated with psychiatric morbidity. Conclusion: This research focuses on psychiatric morbidity, overall clinical profile, and the impact of numerous psychosocial factors on mental health in this vulnerable population. To enhance the general mental health of such a vulnerable group, better policymaking, timely psychiatric interventions, and rehabilitation are required.

In India, many reforms have been occurring in the last few years, including revamping the Medical Council of India, introducing telemedicine practice guidelines (TPG-2020), and increasing the use of technology in healthcare delivery. This paper aims to propose a transformational plan of public healthcare delivery by integrating TPG-2020 with telemedicine-driven under- and postgraduate medical education. The authors discuss various currently used models and offer models for future. The authors hope that these may assist the policymakers, academia, and regulatory bodies to revolutionize the medical education of our country, utilizing the full potential of telemedicine for better health-care delivery in our country.
