Abstract

"Mental health is crucial for physical well-being," quoted by Dr. Brock Chisholm, and underscores the significance of mental health. This review provides an updated insight into mental health and depression in India, incorporating student viewpoints on their expectations from educational institutions regarding psychological well-being. Through literature analysis and student surveys, it highlights the substantial burden of mental health issues in India, particularly among youth. Suicide, a leading cause of death among young Indians, underscores the urgency for comprehensive mental health strategies. By integrating recent data and student perspectives, this review informs policymakers and educational institutions on enhancing mental health support systems. It emphasizes proactive measures within educational settings to ensure the well-being of the Indian population". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
