Is the rush to build our future breaking our minds?
As India’s skylines rise, the country is living through the largest demographic transition in human history. Millions move to megacities for growth and opportunity — and pay a silent psychological price for it.
Urbanization and Mental Health in Modern India examines the human cost behind the urban grind: burnout from endless commutes, the isolation of young people drowning in digital life, and the cultural stigma that stops people getting help.
This is not a book of despair. Alongside the diagnosis sits a practical blueprint — the community models, tele-health services and corporate wellness programmes that are already working.
Inside the book
- The urban penalty: why mental health disorders run significantly higher in metros, and how the loss of traditional community networks amplifies anxiety
- The digital frontline: how hyper-connectivity, social media FOMO and sleep disruption erode the resilience of young India
- The access abyss: the reality of India’s treatment gap, where roughly 0.75 psychiatrists serve every 100,000 people
- The workplace revolution: how corporate India is moving mental health from HR afterthought to business imperative
- Dismantling stigma: a clear strategy against “log kya kahenge” and the silence it enforces
