Mental health situation in our country demands active policy interventions by the government.

Mental health situation in our country demands active policy interventions by the government. To reduce the stigma around mental health, we need measure to educate the society about mental diseases. We also need steps to connect the patients with each other by forming a peer network, so that they could listen and support each other. Moreover, people experiencing mental health problems should get the same access to safe and effective care as those with physical health problems. Additionally, mental illness must mandatorily be put under the category of life insurance. This will help people to see mental illness with the same lens as they use for physical diseases.
