However, beyond the protective walls of institutional care lie neglect, stigma, poverty and lack of resources which often leaves mentally ill patients in a vicious cycle of relapse, re-admissions and discharge from hospitals. This is just tip of the iceberg when it comes to the pitiful plight of mentally ill persons and mental healthcare across the world especially in developing and under-developed economies. Aim: This empirical study was designed to collect data of both quantitative and qualitative nature on the socio-economic background of patients admitted in two state mental health institutions in Maharashtra, India though a review of patient case files. The study also adopted a method of co-operative inquiry and assimilated opinions from psychiatrists and psychiatric social workers to comprehend the challenges to community reintegration of patients and possible solutions. Methods and Materials: Data collection was carried out at Thane and Yerwada Regional Mental Hospitals. 30 case files of discharged or discharge eligible patients were referred for background information on type of illness, instances of relapse, occupation and activities during admission.
