Authors

Abstract

To live a good life, it is essential for both physical and mental health to be well. However, in Indian society, mental health does not receive the same attention as physical health, which is why it is still considered a stigma today.

The main purpose of this study is to understand why most people do not value mental health as much as physical health and why they hesitate to talk about it openly. Even in the 21st century, Indian society lacks proper infrastructure for mental health and adequate resources for treatment.

Positive mental health is essential for success and achievement in life. Mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety are prevalent worldwide and affect all age, social, and racial groups. This study also highlights several obstacles to developing better infrastructure and treatment for mental health.

What will the future of mental health in India look like? Many issues in Indian society, such as suicide, stem from mental illness. It is crucial for everyone to talk about mental health openly to address and prevent these problems. This will help address these problems early and prevent them from escalating.
