Overview of
Centre for mental health & behavioral sciences (CMBS), Udaipur.
Mental health is a state of mental well-being and a process that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well, work well, and contribute to their community. Mental health and illness often exists in a single continuum. It is this spectrum, wherein everyone can face psychological challenges, at least once in a lifespan. Thus, on which side one flips i.e. normal or abnormal is vitally important.
At Centre for Mental health & Behavioral Sciences (CMBS) , Udaipur, we hold this continuum in mind. We not only help people in recovering from psychological /psychiatric disorders , but we also aid them in building a healthy and harmonious life. Our efforts are directed towards diffusion of stigma for mental health conditions, their treatments as well as optimizing the mind-body units i.e. the “Wellness Wheel” via multiple pathways.
Our vision
We believe that mental health is not a destination; it is a process and a personal journey. In today’s days and times where the prevalence and incidence of psychiatric disorders is at a sharp rise, taking care of our mental health is not an option anymore. It is just as important as physical health. This is true for everyone (men or women or queer ), at all ages (childhood, teenage, adulthood, oldage), at all times.
It is our vision at CMBS Udaipur is to help quip people to take charge of their psychological journey and most importantly help them bridge the gap between ‘where they are and where they want to be’.
At CMBS we extend ourselves as competent, compassionate, ethical and caring mental health specialists whose strive for excellence in patient care, community care and medical research. At CMBS specialists from different interdisciplinary fields come together in a dedicated fashion to design a better life for people and their families.
