The Better India Show- Episode 1: Improve Your Mental Health- Free Counselling, Common Mental health Disorders, Family Support, Work Life Balance & more
"Based on the National Mental Health Survey 2015-2016, about 1 in 10 people in India have a diagnosable mental disorder, and some estimates suggest 5 out of 10 people might be suffering mild mental health disorders"
The WHO estimates that 91.8% of Indians with mental disorders in India never seek help for their condition. This is partly due to the social stigma attached to mental illness and the high cost of treatment, which remains inaccessible to a large section of society.
