HYDERABAD, Nov 8: Family members’ cooperation was essential for early recovery of psychiatric patients said a doctor at a one-day “mental health” seminar held at Sir C.J. Institute of Psychiatry here on Wednesday.

Speaking on the occasion, the newly posted medical superintendent of the institute, Dr Mir Mohammad Shaikh, apprised the measures adopted in the hospital in connection with timely attendance of staff, and improvement in administrative and educational affairs.
