A union of entangled traditions. Conspicuous choices are slowly paving way for more informed, conscious choices we make in life. The last two years have taught us that there’s no greater joy than the joy of maintaining good health and well-being for ourselves and our loved ones.

The stigma associated with mental health is a pervasive phenomenon all over the world, especially so in our land. Research by the WHO has shown that all over the world, 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health issue any given year. In India, reports have shown that at least 6.5 per cent of the Indian population suffers from some form of a
serious mental disorder, with no discernible rural-urban differences.
The shortage of mental health professionals and the apprehension surrounding the subject has contributed to further complications. A grave fact shows that the Indian government spends less than 33 paisa on a mental health sufferer, which is just 0.05% of the annual healthcare budget, making this a starling fact for a nation which accounts for over a billion people. It further doesn’t help when we realise that there’s only one medical professional per lakh for treating mental illnesses in our nation.
