Forensic psychiatry deals with mental health in situations connected to legal or official questions, such as assessing a person's mental state, capacity to make decisions or fitness for certain proceedings. It needs a careful, objective, and well-documented evaluation.

The psychiatrist reviews history, conducts a detailed interview and may use psychological tests, then provides a clear opinion based on evidence. The role is to assess and advise, not to take sides, and patient rights and confidentiality are protected within the limits of law. Reports are prepared only for valid purposes and with proper consent or legal direction. Patients and families are told what the assessment will involve and how its findings may be used. Each assessment is carried out independently and with care by a psychiatrist in Mumbai.
