“No person with mental illness and their family members should suffer for want of treatment”
This wish of Shri.M.S.Chellamuthu became the clarion call for his son, a Psychiatrist who took up this profession to translate the wish into a reality.
Shri.M.S.Chellamuthu, was an engineer by profession and a most respected person in the Public Works Department of the State Government of TamilNadu.
The personal and family sufferings in managing a member of the family with mental illness, that too at a time when mental health care services were scarce and limited to only those living in big cities, urged Shri.M.S.Chelamuthu to make fervent appeal to his son who was doing medicine at that time to take up psychiatry. |
