Dr. Ghulam Hassan Areas Of Intrest

He has also keen interest in geriatrics. Dr Ghulam Hassan has deep interest in anthropology and sociology. Political psychology has been his special interest. Political deprivation can lead to upheaval in mental state of a nation. This is itself a very interesting topic and it is the incumbent upon every psychiatrist to understand this new aspect of modern era. This brings ones to the concept of holistic medicine practice model: you just do not treat the disease only. Rather you treat whole individual with all his/her social,economical,cultural and political milieu.

This then brings one to very fundamental principle of psychiatric practice which is often ignored: Lavish use of psychotropic drugs. This is causing more harm than benefit. Psychiatric disorders are not always requiring blind use of drugs. If we treat illnesses holistically then drugs have limited use. But it is needless to say that a psychiatrist must be very astute and have a sharp clinical acumen so as not to;ve when the clinical condition warrants immediate use of psychotropic drugs. Dr Ghulam Hassan has developed a unique model of psychiatric practice which incorporates this fundamental principle: judicious use of medicines. He is the biggest critic of polypharmacy. He follows the motto diseases mostly need one or 2 medicines. If one is exceeding this limit he or she must be ready to inform his/her patients why to do so. Pharmaceutical sponsored prescription must end.
