Mental Health Care Act

Each one of us can have a role to play in instilling faith and inspiring hope amongst the individuals we meet. Of course, seeking professional help for mental health is important, but to assume that it's only a doctor that can "fix" the problem could be inaccurate.

Attempts to commit suicide by people with mental disabilities will not be punishable under a new law that has got assent from President Pranab Mukherjee.

The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday passed, by voice vote, the Mental Health Care Bill, 2013 that seeks to provide better medical care to mentally ill besides ensuring their basic rights.
