Abstract

Mental illness is one of our greatest worldwide challenges because it is the primary cause of disability. The size of the issue in India, a country with a diverse and rich culture, can seem daunting. Only 0.75 psychiatrists are available to treat every 100,000 patients in the world's second-most populous country, and the WHO estimates that the cost of mental illness would cost the global economy $1.03 trillion between 2012 and 2030. From 2022 to 2028, the India Mental Health Market is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR of 15%. Studies indicate that India is becoming more aware of the reality and effects of mental health while responding with acceptance and openness, highlighting the importance of access and education. This mind-set, however, requires systemic backing. The aim of this exploratory quantitative research study is to get an overview of some challenges faced by experts and NGOs' in the Mental Health and wellness space.
