IT'S DIFFERENT!

Environment, Culture, Health Orientation (ECHO) has been registered under the Societies Registration Act. XXI of 1860 at the Office of the Registrar of Firms & Societies, Assam, India in Guwahati on 19 October 2004 with No. RS/KAM/240/U/190 of 2004-2005. As part of its Health Orientation wing and according to the constitution, ECHO has formed a subcommittee, namely Society for Mental Health in LAMIC (SoMHiL).
In collaboration with Academia Dysphrenia, a registered institution [Registration Number 120 (B)/50 dated 24/08/2015 with Guwahati Municipal Corporation, Guwahati, Assam, India], SoMHiL strives to promote research in behavioural sciences related to mental health among the Low and Middle Income Countries (LAMIC). In pursuit of this, SoMHiL will take charge of running the Open Journal of Psychiatry & Allied Sciences (OJPAS™).
OJPAS™ is edited by Shyamanta Das and published by Academy Publisher. This journal was earlier named Dysphrenia. Like the journal’s renaming, it is felt that in the endeavour of promoting mental health in LAMIC, the name Academia Dysphrenia may come as a hindrance. Thus, this new development in the form of SoMHilL.
