Heralding a new era

Abstract

The domains of Psychiatry and Neurosciences have progressed from being poor cousins of Medicine to becoming one of the frontier fields in modern medicine, incorporating cutting edge science and research initiatives and influencing diverse areas like management, humanities, conflict resolution, development, organisational systems, astronomy, sports etc. After the decade of the brain, it seems the field has taken off to hitherto unimagined heights. Needless to say, we are in exciting times.
