About Us
Welcome to Manathin Maiyam and Centre of Mind, where our mission is to provide world-class mental health care and education to the people of Erode, Tamil Nadu, India. We are a dedicated team of mental health professionals who have come together with a shared vision—to bring comprehensive, compassionate, and high-quality mental health services to our community. In our journey to make a difference, we have realized that addressing mental health issues requires more than just clinical interventions.
While treating illnesses and disorders in a clinical setting is critical, it is equally important to raise awareness and promote the significance of mental well-being in today’s rapidly changing world. India, as a nation striving to establish itself as a “Knowledge Superpower” in the 21st century, must prioritize mental health as a cornerstone of overall societal progress.

Our Vision for the Future
As we continue to grow, our vision remains clear: to create a society where mental health is a priority, where people are educated and empowered to take charge of their psychological well-being, and where quality mental health care is accessible to all. We envision a future where the stigma surrounding mental health is a thing of the past, and where individuals can seek help without fear or shame.
At Manathin Maiyam and Centre of Mind, we are committed to being at the forefront of this change. We invite you to join us on this journey—whether you are seeking care for yourself or a loved one, or whether you simply want to learn more about mental health and how it can impact your life.
Our Dual Mission
Our clinical services operate under the banner of “Manathin Maiyam,” where we provide comprehensive mental health care with a focus on treating a wide range of psychological disorders. We follow internationally recognized standards and protocols in assessment, documentation, treatment, and care, ensuring that our patients receive the highest level of professional support. Our team is continuously engaged in training and education, allowing us to stay at the forefront of mental health advancements and offer cutting-edge care to those in need. However, our commitment does not stop at clinical practice.
Recognizing the importance of prevention and mental health education, we have established a dedicated wing called “Centre of Mind.” This initiative focuses on spreading knowledge about mental health, educating the public about the importance of psychological well-being, and working to prevent mental health issues before they arise. In a socio-political environment where liberalization and globalization are reshaping our nation, we believe that mental health education is crucial to helping individuals navigate the challenges of modern life with resilience and strength.
