The De-Institutionalization of Mental Health Care

"In the United States, only one out of two adults with general health problems has been receiving care from mental health experts any year," Patel et al., 2013, p. 1). This reference also shows that mental health care should be included in regular healthcare platforms as it is the only viable way to deal with gaps in the treatment of mental disorders (Patel et al ., 2013). If the primary care physician has received sufficient training to deal with these problems, positive results may be obtained in the initial examination.

Nevertheless, there are mental health workers who have not provided adequate care yet in our country; this is delaying the progress in the implementation of policies that are not institutionalized. We have only data on the minimum data on refresh training for mental health workers and the number of organizations involved in mental health policies, legislation or advocacy, groups or non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Having data in these areas is useful for service planning and resource allocation. 3 Acute psychiatric wards are not established in regional medical centers and state hospitals. Because there is not enough budget, there is no acute psychiatry at the general hospital. As a result, the use of mental health facilities nationwide is very uneven, especially because there are many facilities in the capital of the whole country.

I can not get a high quality mental health facility. Hospitals and mental health centers are mainly concentrated in cities and big towns. 80% of mental healthcare services are done in the private sector, but this is usually expensive. Depression, anxiety, stress, suicide - These conditions are becoming common in India, cities and countryside, depending on the media, movies, occasionally chatting. However, it is rare for the general public to understand the seriousness of mental health. This is mainly due to the lack of consciousness and the lack of understanding that our mind needs about the same care as the body, mental health is as important as physical health. Most of us also tend to ignore our minds, which is part of our body!
