The NaariSpeaks: Real Stories on Mental Health by Indian Women

According to the latest survey by National Institute for Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), close to 150 million Indians are in need of mental health services, out of which only 30 million are seeking help. This alarming statistic underscores the deep-rooted stigma surrounding therapy and the significant gaps in mental health infrastructure. At Boss Naari, we are committed to addressing a small but crucial part of this issue by offering a platform for Indian women to share their mental health experiences.
