Description
Is the rush to build our future breaking our minds?
As India’s skylines soar, the nation is undergoing humanity’s largest demographic transition. Millions are drawn to megacities fueled by the promise of growth and opportunity, but this relentless pursuit exacts a silent, devastating psychological toll.
Urbanization and Mental Health in Modern India: Navigating the Invisible Crisis exposes the human cost behind the modern urban grind. It breaks the silence on the infrastructure of the mind, addressing the burnout from endless commutes, the isolation of youth crushed by digital overload, and the cultural stigmas that prevent healing.
However, this is not a tale of despair. With data-driven, empathetic insights, author Amit Fogla provides a practical blueprint for change. This book spotlights the innovative community models, tele-health solutions, and corporate wellness initiatives that are lighting the path forward.
