Books

Since 1990, IPH has been active in publishing Mental Health related information. It all began with our newsletter 'Manas'. IPH now periodically publishes booklets on specific issues & topics related to mental health, according to the changing needs of the society.

A booklet for people suffering from Dementia and their caregivers, booklet on Schizophrenia in Marathi language, others on counseling & psychotherapy, posters on parenting etc. are examples of ongoing publication efforts. Information leaflets on specific mental disorders like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Dietary information for children suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and other similar efforts happen on the basis of need. These Publication efforts provide an invaluable link to reach out to the community and to spread awareness so as to improve overall mental health of the community.

Furthermore, findings from IPH research efforts have appeared in reputed journals in the field of mental health. Some of IPH's team members have been actively writing books published in Marathi. Some of these include,
