Mental health

It is a fact that the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the mental health problem in the country, which has also led to a significant increase in the number of cases of depression. Mental health issues have long been equated with psychotic disorders (Editorial page, “Spare a thought for psychiatric caregivers too”, June 22). A way forward is initiating a sustained conversation on mental health in language that is understandable — one that is ‘inclusive’. Mental health issues, if experienced by an individual, need to be mainstreamed.

Perhaps, social reformation and national-level campaigns on mental health can go a long way in addressing the subject.
