Description
Vaseel and Nalakath Uvais wrote a 2025 study of dementia care through community psychiatry clinics in rural India. Dementia is common, yet many rural patients get little care. The Rythm program, run by a hospital and research center, set up local clinics to bring mental health care closer to home.
Since August 2022, four of eight Rythm clinics have taken dementia cases, and they found twenty nine cases in all. Most patients were women, and most got follow up at home because travel was hard. Trained local volunteers helped find cases early and link people to care. The authors report less strain on caregivers, fewer hospital stays, and more awareness of dementia in these areas.
