Problem:
In 2017, the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind said that India was 'facing a possible mental health epidemic.' Studies had revealed that in the same year, 14% of India’s population suffered from mental health ailments, including 45.7 million suffering from depressive disorders and 49 million from anxiety disorders. The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020-2021 made this mental health crisis only worse. But, even in the face of these statistics, individual counselling remains an unpopular career choice due to the extreme stigma attached to mental health issues and their treatment in our country. This menternship will give you an opportunity to put yourself in the shoes of an individual counselor to help you look beyond popular opinion at the science and method that backs the discipline of psychology.
