Mental health in India involves state, private and community sector intervention in mental health issues. According to a study published in Lancet in 2019, "One in seven Indians were affected by mental disorders of varying severity in 2017 [...] Substantial variations exist between states in the burden from different mental disorders and in their trends over time."[1] State initiatives such as the National Mental Health Program and laws such as the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 deal with mental health issues in the country at a state level.
National Mental Health Programme
The National Mental Health Programme was started in 1982. In 1996, the District Mental Health Program (DMHP) was launched based on the 'Bellary Model'.[2]
