Abstract A recent common phenomenon observed in almost every household of the world including India is that, at least one individual in every family is suffering from one or the other mental illnesses, which has a direct or indirect bearing on the entire family. Surely, if that person is the only breadwinner for rest of the members, then the repercussions are even more severe. Gradually it starts disturbing the family in all aspects, be it psychological, economic or social. Mental disorder or illness though is not a novel gordian knot, but it is recently that from past two decades it has come to the limelight. Also, it is not bound by any age limit, and bears the potential to affect people of any age group be it elderly or the young generation. Keeping an eye on rising toll of mental health related issues, it is not hard to presume that Gen-Z age group will be the most affected in times to come due various external or environmental factors around. Increasing suicidal tendencies even over trivial issues has alarmed the world including our country, thus it is high time that mental wellbeing should be prioritized, for which combined efforts are required from the individuals, families, society and the most important health care system of the country. In such a frightening situation, it becomes even more crucial to know what the government has been doing to take cognizance of the matter and what more yet needs to be done.
This research paper is designed to shed light on the available medical facilities for the treatment pertaining to psychological issues and the political will to curb the rising numbers of psychological disorders, by providing a helping hand through effective policies thus strengthening our human capital.
