Abstract
We all know that only around 20 to 25% of psychiatric patients are getting proper modern treatment. This is mostlybecause of lack of awareness, stigma and their perception or misperception towards treatment as dangerous and waste.So in bringing awareness and for changing their perceptions, media has an important role to play.
