HealthBengaluru Groups Work to Bridge Mental Health Treatment Gap
Bengaluru faces a high suicide rate among major Indian metros, with only 0.3 psychiatrists per 100,000 citizens nationally as per the 2015-2016 survey. City initiatives focus on improving mental health access through education, conversations, movement, and music. NIMHANS leads a multistate ICMR project training over 600 teachers and 1,000 students across 60 campuses to prevent student suicides, supported by the self-help website mywellbeingshelf.in.
