Why this work exists
Most people in India who need mental health treatment never receive any. Not because help doesn’t exist, but because it is unaffordable, unavailable in their language, or too stigmatised to ask for.
India has roughly 0.75 psychiatrists per 1,00,000 people. The WHO recommends around three. That gap is not an accident, and it isn’t permanent either.
Understand what you’re going through
Plain-language guides to anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, burnout and more — including what each condition is not.
Our litigation
We’re pursuing High Court litigation to make mental health support an enforceable right.
We need more hands
We receive far more requests for support than we have therapist-hours to meet. If you’re a psychologist, a law student, a translator, or simply someone with time — you can change that number.
Stay in the loop
Updates on our litigation, new group circles, helpline resources, and ways to get involved. No spam, just what matters.
About us
We’re a volunteer-run organisation. Our psychologists, researchers and coordinators all do this alongside their regular work.
