MHCA mandates monthly reporting to the MHRBs of restraints imposed on the PwMI in the MHEs (Section 97). CB-MH services must be strengthened by effectively implementing DMHP and CB-MH services for ensuring the rights of PwMI to receive treatment in the least restrictive environment. Sir, The Mental Health Care Act, 2017,[1] was implemented in the country for ensuring the rights of persons with mental illness (PwMI).[2] Since its launch, it has been critiqued by the scientific community, highlighting its shortcomings and issues with implementation.[3]-[5] However, such critiques did not explicitly highlight the issues with the implementation of the MHCA in routine clinical discourse.
