Narco- analysis, Ethical dilemma, Psychotropic.

Narco Analysis is a diagnostic and cathartic technique employed primarily for investigative purposes with the help of psychotropic drugs. Drugs that are often used in the analysis are barbiturates which induce a sense of instability or stupor but causing the mental conditions to become very active. This is carried out to a stage where it can be used by the therapist to extract out information from the victim or accused. Narco-analysis has a long history with major developments in order to make it less harmful and more beneficial. It has been used for solving various criminal cases in the past and is still quite prevalent in order to gain investigative leads. But no diagnostic approach involving the use of drugs can be entirely ethical. Ethical dilemmas like it not being 100% accurate and the invasion of privacy of the test taker. Thus, it is still not admissible in the court of law as evidence. This review paper will focus on the concept of narco analysis, its approach in investigation and the pros and cons of engaging in such an act.
