TRIENNIAL REPORT
ON THE WORKING OF THE
LUNATIC ASYLUMS
IN THE
MADRAS PRESIDENCY
FOR THE PERIOD 1918-1920.
MADRAS:
PRINTED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT, GOVERNMENT PRESS.
1921.
OFFICE OF THE SURGEON-GENERAL WITH THE
GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS,
Madras, the 4th May 1921./10th June 1921.
No. 97-561-A.
From
MAJOR-GENLG. G. GIFFARD, C.S.I., K.H.S., I.M.S.,
SURGEON-GENERAL WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS,
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT,
MADRAS.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit, for the information of the Government, the
triennial report on the working of the Lunatic Asylums in the Madras Presidency
for the period 1918—20.
2. Population.—The total population of the three asylums in the Presidency,
viz., Madras, Vizagapatam and Calicut, at the beginning of each of the three years
was as follows :—
In 1918 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
1919 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
1920 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
845
896
875
3. The admissions including re-admissions and observation cases for the
years under review were as follows :—
In 1918 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
1919 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
1920 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
366
325
340
The total population for the present triennium was 3,647 which is an advance
of 362 over the previous triennium in which the total population was 3,285. The
total number of lunatics confined in all the three asylums at the end of each of
the three years under notice was 2,663 as compared with 2,494 in the preceding
triennial period, i.e., an increase of 169.
4. Discharges and deaths.—Among the 3,647 inmates treated during the present
triennium 383 were cured, 133 improved and 41 were classed as not improved. In
other words on the total population, 10.5 per cent were cured, 3.65 per cent were
improved. 1.12 per cent not improved, 1.65 were discharged otherwise, 10.01 died
and 73.02 remained. The corresponding figures for the previous triennium were
10.35 cured, 3.74 improved, 0.46 not improved, 2.07 discharged otherwise, 7.46
died and 75.92 remained. A comparison between these figures shows an increase
of 2.6 per cent in the death-rate which was due to the prevalence of influenza in
1918. The daily average strength of the asylums was 2,677.70 as compared with
2,484.04 of the last report, the proportion of female to male lunatics being about
the same, i.e., 1 to 3.
5. Ages.—The largest number of admissions excluding observation cases was
between the ages of 20 and 40 being 73.18 per cent of the total admissions for
the triennium 1918—20, the next in order was in the age period of 40 to 60 being
17.75 and the smallest number of admissions was among those over 60 years
being 1.69 of the total admissions. In the previous triennium the percentages
were as follows :—between the ages of 20 and 40, 67.23, between 40 and 60, 24.31
and upwards of 60, 8.63.
6
STATISTICAL RETURNS OF THE LUNATIC ASYLUMS
provided with a laboratory or the assistance which is necessary for detailed clinical
investigation of each case. Good work however is being done and I am able to
report that during the past three years there has been a distinct attempt made to
pass from the state of the lunatic asylum to that of a hospital for patients suffering
from mental diseases. Much more remains to be done, but in the present condi-
tion of financial stringency there does not seem to be much prospect of advance
in the near future.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
T. H. SYMONS, LT.-COL., I.M.S.,
Offg. Surgeon-General with the Govt. of Madras.
For MAJOR-GENERAL G. G. GIFFARD, I.M.S.
