Dr Abhinav talks to us about the programmes being run by the Government of India for mental health advocacy and support for treatment. We learn about initiatives like e-Manas, a telecommunication service that exists to guide a person looking for help.

We talk about the stigma that surrounds the topic of visiting a psychologist or psychiatrist and how we as citizens of India, can each contribute immediately to help build a strong and positively supportive scene for mental health advocacy, acceptance of patients in society & greater access to help and treatment.
