Problem Statement/Attention:- 21^st Century Mental Health Hazards:

In this 21^st century, we are generally focused on medical care rather than the total health care. Even in our houses we don’t have the culture of mental wellbeing. People only go to hospitals when some disease attacks them. With global urbanization, the lifestyle is changing in both rural and urban localities and technology has snatch away the connection from the nature.

As per a WHO report on ‘Mental Health’ has found that by 2030, the urban population will increase by more than two billions in Mumbai and other metro cities. And it will give rise to mental health issues like depression, stress, anxiety, dementia, Alzheimer and suicide etc.

As we see the recent times;

a)     1 out of 4 people are living in mental condition and ignorant of what to do

b)     60 Million Indians suffer from mental illness. 

c)     130,000 Indians commit suicide every year. India has 1 suicide every 40 seconds.

d)     1 in 3 homeless individuals suffer from a mental illness.

e)     1 in 5 Indians are living below poverty line and hence the adverse effect of casteism, gender biases and different socio-demographic conditions directly affects one’s physical and mental health conditions. 

f)      Poor Mental Health Condition is a growing Public Health Concern in today’s times affecting an individual’s relationship with self and others thereby affecting the productivity and physical health too.

g)     If we observe the recent scenario, the rural residents’ are migrating for their living to various metro cities and hence the percentage of slums in urban is increasing year after years creating concerns on health.

Hence Design Your Destiny Foundation intends to inculcate the habit of building regular health.
