This enjoyable journey has been rewarding, resulting in the first edition of this book being published in 2013.We have gained largely by this process & enjoyed the venture immensely. A revised free e-edition of this book was planned, to enable easy access to psychiatric knowledge. The contents are presented in diverse ways - concise articles, narratives from senior consultants, Myths & Facts, MCQs, Crosswords & chapters on core psychiatric issues. Obviously this is not a textbook on psychiatry as the title rightly conveys "glimpses of psychiatry…" This revised edition commemorates our fourth year in this venture. Although the revised edition does not see very major changes, some chapters have been added on. The editorial team saw an additional member, Dr Naresh Nebhinani, who invested a great deal of time and energy into this edition. Availability of an electronic version makes access to information much easier, and thankfully "Minds United for Health Sciences & Humanity", which had the copyright, agreed to release it for free. The free e-copy thus compliments the availability of the hard copy. With the support of many we have succeeded in delivering a copy of the book to all medical colleges in India, and a few to Nepal & Sri Lanka. Mr Vinayaka Murthy M. and his son Dr. Arunkumar V. played a key role in this process and we are thankful to them. We are thankful to all authors for their contribution and consent to release this free edition. Dr Shubhangi Dere has taken up the task of leading MINDS for the year 2014-15, she will continue to update the readers.

Numerous issues have contributed to this status: a possible confusion in the delineation of normality from abnormality, a lack of objective signs and symptoms or diagnostic investigations, and an inadequate exposure & training in psychiatry during the undergraduate course, to state a few. This has a negative impact on the ability of the medical fraternity to handle psychiatric morbidity efficiently, exposing individuals with psychiatry disorder to be exploited by those who are not qualified. With this background, the book has been compiled in order to make an attempt to create awareness among doctors and medical students, regarding psychiatric illnesses. Information has been presented in a simple & educative manner, using an easy and attractive format , for diverse groups of readers in the medical fraternity, ranging from medical students to practitioners in all branches. It also contains a compilation of the issues of 'MINDS' that have been released over the past two years. This unique book has over 20 specialty articles spanning Anatomy to Cardiology in the section on consultation liaison psychiatry written by experts in those fields, stressing the importance of psychiatry in all areas of medical science. Probably, the real joy of the book presentation is the cafeteria approach, wherein readers will have a large variety of material to choose from, ranging from specific chapters, articles, multiple choice questions, solving crosswords, or reading the experiences of experts in the section aptly named 'Down the memory lane…' This will also be, probably for the first time, that this entire book will be avilable in an exclusive website www.psychiatry4u.com, www.mindsnewsletter.com We are also happy to inform all the authors who have contributed to this book and the readers, that the proceedings from the sale of this book will be utilized to strengthen our continued efforts to provide knowledge and create awareness about psychiatry, without any fee. v Glimpses of Psychiatry for Doctors & Medical Students 7 We look forward to your feedback and support, as always.
