Launched on 10th October 2025, World Mental Health Day, Mentality aims to shape the discourse on mental health issues in India by investigating their root causes and questioning systems that perpetuate the crises.
There is a particular techno-economic system we exist in, which is making us more lonely, isolated and weak. If we consider it journalism’s duty to document history as it unfolds, then that is what Mentality intends to do in the sphere of mental health.
Our stories might be about individuals, but we always place them in context so that we can hold the powerful accountable.
Mental health is usually perceived to be a privileged people’s problem. Nothing can be further from the truth as poverty and inequality, in fact, negatively impact mental health. Coverage of mental health in media has an enormous impact on public perception, stigma, and policy decisions.
