DEPARTMENTS
• The World Health Organization estimates that by 2020,
mental depression will be the largest cause of disability
worldwide. It also says that by 2025, mental illness will
catch up with heart disease or may even overtake it as the
biggest global health concern.
• The National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences
(NIMHANS) in Bangalore estimates that two crore Indians
need help for serious mental disorders, while a further five
crore suffer from mental illnesses not considered very
serious. These figures do not include neurological age-
related progressive disorders such as Alzheimer's and
Parkinson's.

5. • It also estimates that at least 35 lakh Indians need
hospitalisation on account of mental illnesses. But the
country has only 40 institutions that are equipped to treat
patients suffering from mental disorders. The total number
of beds is less than 26,000. Of these 40 institutions, only
nine are equipped to treat children. Moreover, many of
them are medieval-era, asylum-style institutions with high
boundary walls, artificial barriers and patients kept in
solitary confinement.
• "We need to get out of this 'mental hospital' structure.
More importantly, we need to stop reinforcing negative
stereotypes of the mentally ill," says Vandana Gopikumar,
member of the policy group appointed by the Union health
ministry to frame a national mental health policy.
