with 32% of Hyderabadis falling into the “distressed” or
“struggling” categories, characterized by poor emotional regulation,
strained relationships, and diminished mental performance

discrimination surrounding mental Health Disorders which in turn delays early
detection and diagnosis and treatment, which then leads to long term
consequences.
