Inadequacy of Indias Approach to Mental Illness

Harsh Arnab Karpatne

Abstract: Mental illness are health conditions involving changes in emotions, thinking or behaviour or combination of all these. It can be associated with distress and or problem functioning in social work or family activities. Many people who have mental illness don’t want to talk about it. It is just like the other disease that is curable with treatment. We are expanding our understanding of how human brain works and treatments are available to help people successfully manage mental heath conditions. Mental illness is like integral part of our overall health, it is not just the absence of illness, physical pain is more apparent so we can figure it out easily, but mental health is less dramatic and enter slowly, and it is much more common than and much more hard to bear, and also it is major contributing factor of our physical illness.
