Addiction Psychiatry Module

Addiction medicine is a branch of psychiatry that has never been given the attention it deserves. It has always been looked at as a side portion in psychiatry.

For the first time, we at “Psych Reads” will cover addiction in depth and will be looking at the management part as per the Indian guidelines and protocol. The time dedicated to each lecture will be enough to cover everything needed for a resident to write exams but also to manage the case independently.

We will combine the treatment protocol followed at the premier institutes of the country so that you learn the authentic best and follow the most reliable treatment options. Hope this course will be a game changer in the life of a resident.
