PEACE BEGINS WITH A SMILE"
-Mother Teresa
Mental illness is often ignored when it comes to diagnosing a person’s problems. According to WHO one in every 8 people suffers from mental illness in India. Beginning with autism and cognitive impairment in childhood, depression, anxiety, substance misuse, and psychosis in maturity, and ending with dementia in old life. In sum, mental health illnesses constitute 15% of the global disease burden. As per a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), India has one of the world’s largest populations of people with mental issues in one shape or another.
We are committed to eliminating the stigma surrounding mental illness through education, training, and providing access to cost-effective, high-quality care. Mental Health and well-being are universal human rights. We all deserve to live in a world where our mental health is seen to be as important as our physical health. Today, a person takes their own life every 40 seconds. 1 in 4 of us will experience mental illness. Everyone everywhere should have someone to turn to in support of their mental health. We aim to address all these issues for the betterment of society.
