I passed post-graduation in psychiatry this year (July 2016) from a central govt-run mental hospital in Assam and am looking forward to start my own practice as a psychiatrist in my home-town in West Bengal. I want my senior colleagues in the field to give their valuable inputs regarding starting own psychiatry private practice. What one should be looking for before putting his/her foothold in this arena?

What are the challenges that are about to come and how to tackle them? Please share your valuable opinions. Thank you.
