メンタルヘルスの重要性に目覚めつつあるインド。治療をより身近なものにするには
定性的分野は進展の度合いを把握することが困難ですが、特に、メンタルヘルスのような入り組んだ分野を扱う場合は、その複雑さが格段に大きくなります。しかし最近発表された第三者機関による2つのレポートでは、問題をより明確に理解するとともに、楽観的に捉える理由が示されています。
The Live Love Laugh Foundation aims to reduce the stigma, spread awareness and change the way people look at mental health. It has been instrumental in creating a platform where people seek help for themselves or their loved ones, find comprehensive knowledge, connect with professionals and find comfort knowing that they are not alone in their battle with their issues. Its programmes include the You Are Not Alone awareness programme for adolescent school children and their teachers; a rural mental health programme in Davangere, Karnataka; and Together Against Depression, a programme for general practitioners to identify physical signs and symptoms of depression.
