Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from Childhood and adolescence through adulthood. We often think of our mind and body as separate, but own mental health and physical health are interconnected. Physical health problems significantly increase our risk of developing mental health problems and vice versa.
In 2017, the President of India, Sri Ram Nath Kovind asserted that India was “facing a possible mental health epidemic." A study revealed that in the same year, 14% of India's population suffered from mental health ailments including 45.7 million suffering from depressive disorders and 49 million from anxiety disorders. The COVID-19 Pandemic has further accerituated the mental health crisis with reports from across the world suggesting that the virus and associated lock downs were having a significant impact on the population particularly younger individuals. Not only in our country but globally the majority of those who need mental health care worldwide lack access to high quality mental health service. Stigma human resource shortage fragmented service, delivery models, and lack of research capacity for policy implementation and change contribute to the current mental health treatment gap. Mental disorders are now among the top leading causes of health burden worldwide, with no evidence of global reduction since 1990. In this article, I will describe, the state of mental health in India, the Cost of the mental health crisis to the economy and further identify challenges and priority areas for future research
