Very homely atmosphere. Free food is provided for the inmates .that is good but some improvements are needed in menu.Treatment is very good here one of the best psychiatry hospitals in kerala

Its a good mental health center under state government. Lush green environment and well qualified staffs.Infrastructure is good but maintenance is very much neglected. Must improve in terms approach towards the persons who seek help here.

Mental Health Centre, Thiruvananthapuram is located in Thiruvananthapuram District, in the Southernmost of the state of Kerala. The campus is situated about 10 kms away from the Thiruvananthapuram Central Railway Station.It was established in 1870 by Honorary Royal King of Travancore and during that period the Mental Hospital took care of patients with Epilepsy, Mental Retardation and Psychiatric conditions. Later in 1985, the hospital was renamed as Mental Health centre. Now it is a 507 bedded hospital covering 36 acres with 34 wards, pond and trees.In early years, there was no system of patient care with patient bystander. The patients whowere admitted here was rejected by the Society and stayed here till the end of life. A hope and ray of light entered in this hospital by the visit of Mother Teresa in 1983. Her valuable suggestions and ideas paved a way for Public Support and foundation for various developmental activities within the hospital.Mentally ill patients from all over the country are getting admitted here and receives excellent treatment care. A Library functioning in Mental Health centre has nearly 6,000 books. These books are utilized by inpatients either in wards or by visiting library.

Its my pleasure to say that kindness and see such a hospitality there

One of the oldest and well managed mental institution in Kerala run by government. Both out patient and in patient facilities available. Service of qualified and skilled Doctors Nurses and Councillors available. Under appreciated for their contributions to the society. Large campus. Adequate parking space.

One of the oldest and best psychiatric institutions in South India. It was started in 1870. It functions 24 hours a day. More than 30 doctors work here. Along with them, nearly 400 other staff members are there whom include staff nurses, nursing assistants, grade 2 staff, paramedical staff, office staff, security staff etc. The institution accommodates 537 inpatients. Daily turnover of outpatients is around 200. Food is provided to all the patients admitted here along to their bystanders.

Not good hospitality shown there... they dont support the dreams of patients.. i was not given much care.

A real shame to the name of hospital all those there are insane including doctors and the notorious mallu attitude prevails there too

Very calm and quite place. Green environment and good atmosphere but since it is government property I dont see any improvements in the developments or constructions of the buildings/structure. Most of the rooms in pay wards are not clean and very old. There is no foul smell and all but still it can keep clean and government should do something for the renovation of the buildings inside it.

Premier mental health hospital in Kerala. Vast area and convenient location. Parking possible outside. Small snacks and tea shops are there nearby. Attention is good to patients.

It requires more expansion to separate violent inmates from less noisy lunatics. The availability of mental health centres in other districts are limited. The government should start already one more hospital like this between Kuthiravattom and Oolanpara. The quality of medicine is not up to the branded standard. Once you get admitted realise that mental illness is not curable. Medical students frequently visit and disturb patients. The charity of food is a remarkable contribution by the government. Patients are shown movies occasionally. Isolated narrow cells have limited hygiene. Paywards are less expensive. The campus have more room for new buildings.

Much famous, mostly infamous and synonymous with mental illness, its more of an asylum for the ill fated.the hospital still finds itself in controversially cases of ill treatment to death, intentional detention for private gains and even helping some get out the the hands of law by getting certified as act of mental instability.But the hospital began and still runs with the good intentions of curing as many cases as possible and providing a safe shelter for the ones who cant.Even with the controversies involved, one cannot ignore the contribution to society that this hospital continues to deliver. Nor can we ignore how the location name itself have become a household name and a part of casual comm

Such a gud hospital with all round facilities and outstanding doctors.

Better service..compare to other govt mental hospital

Mental health institute.

Even though the disease is completely curable, there are many experiences that many are not willing to take up. Therefore, it is important for the relatives of the patients to be aware of the same.
