Issue of rising mental illness:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. In the last few decades, the world\nhas been changing very fast, especially with the invention of faster modes of\ntransport, ease of migration across countries and the revolutionary\ndevelopments in information technology (IT). This has brought major challenges\nto the mental health professionals. <\/li>
  2. The IT revolution has been\naccompanied by ill effects such as reduced social interaction, physical\nactivities and intimacy and a more sedentary lifestyle. Real life in-person\ninteraction is being increasingly replaced by an artificial sense of intimacy\nthrough the social networking platforms. <\/li>
  3. The current day youth spends a\nsubstantial time of the day on the internet and is exposed to information\nimplosion including cybercrime, cyberbullying and violent video games. The\ninternet is also a source of (mis)information, source of which is often not\nverified and has a potential of harming the young mind. Blue Whale game is a\nrecent example of such a harm. <\/li>
  4. Increasing violence in the young\npeople is another important issue needing attention since youth are at risk of\nbeing victims as well as perpetrators of violence. <\/li>
  5. Cyberbullying is another mode of\nbullying, which has become increasingly common in the last few years with the\nincreased access to and use of the internet-based services. Behavioural\naddictions and cyberbullying are two important harmful effects of the modern\ndigital age, which especially affect the young. <\/li>
  6. Mental ill-health, substance use and\nviolence in the young population are some important challenges faced by the\nmental health professionals as well as the society.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Recently concluded National Mental Health Survey of India estimates the current prevalence of mental disorders in the age group of 18-29 yr at 7.39% (excluding tobacco use disorder) and lifetime prevalence at 9.54%. The young people also suffer a high rate of self-harm, with suicide being a leading cause of death. Thus a multiple approach is needed to tackle rising mental health issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
