The Shocking Truth Behind Indian People's Mental Health | 150 Million Suffer in Silence

India is currently working to address an existential question of the public mental health sector, and it can be summed up by the fact that millions of citizens survive with mental health problems without seeking help. Such a phenomenon, which can rightly be called a silent crisis, is a major social problem that does not only concern the personal distress but is a serious matter that therefore affects national well-being and economic security.

World Health Organization (WHO) has given a elaborate definition of health by stating that health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being rather than absence of disease. This point of view supports the idea that mental health can be discussed not only as the absence of the disease but also as a part of the whole health, which is closely integrated with physical health and behavior. This kind of a large-scale look is important in understanding the far-reaching consequences of mental health conditions.

Mental Health Issues in India

The extent of the mental health issues in India is massive. According to the estimation of WHO, there is a burden of 2443 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) by 100,000 population that represents the significant healthy living years lost to mental illness. Making this worse, the age-adjusted rate of suicide is alarming at 21.1 per 100,000 population population apparently due to the extreme forms of psychological distress that is untreated and widespread in the country.

More than human losses, there are the economic consequences which are truly overwhelming. It is estimated that mental health conditions will cause an economic damage of USD 1.03 trillion to India between 2012 and 2030 largely because of lost productivity.

This colossal number does not only make mental well-being a proclaimed object of social welfare but also stipulates this issue as such one that plays a crucial role in definition of national economic growth. This permeant quality of what has been termed a silent crisis, however, means that despite the sheer magnitude of the crisis it is often on the fringe of political attention and on the edges of the limelight within society, resulting in millions of people not getting the support they deserve.

Why Indian Youths are having more Mental Health Issues?

India is prone to bad mental and emotional health issues of the youth and adolescents population, which is a vulnerability to this demographic dividend. This can be assessed by the alarming fact that India has one of the highest rates of student suicides in the world with one student committing suicide every hour . Economic Survey 2024-25 clearly correlates the prosperity of India in the future to the mental health of the young population by saying that the demographic dividend is being ridden on skills, education, physical health, and most importantly the mental health of the young population.

This sets a definite cause-and-effect relationship: the current untreated mental health crisis in youth directly takes the economic potential and social stability of India, turning a problem in a certain area of public health (physical health) into a national crisis of growth. This is further compounded by the post-COVID digital addiction surge which shows that this does not represent old or unchanging challenges but require specific interventions.
