A society’s culture can be determined by looking at where mental health is ranked on the moral spectrum. In terms of mental health literacy, Keralite society, which takes pride in its high level of reading, has a long way to go. According to current estimates, 13–14% of people in society suffer from diagnosable mental diseases. More than twice as many people require psychological assistance for non-diagnosable or subclinical mental health issues.
Despite the prevalence of mental illnesses and psychological issues, there is still a significant negative attitude in society toward mental health issues and those who suffer from psychological issues. A significant proportion of the population—roughly 70%—does not seek therapy for mental health issues, and even fewer seek out professional assistance.
Therefore, dispelling myths and avoiding incorrect reactions to mental health concerns are just as vital as raising knowledge of psychological disorders and difficulties. It is essential to debunk misconceptions and prevent misconstrued responses to mental health challenges, as these can significantly impact individuals seeking support.
