  • Caste, Religion, and Mental Health in India
    Caste, religion, and mental health in India Aashish Gupta∗y Diane Coffey∗z May 20, 2020 Abstract The relationship between mental health and social disadvantage in low and middle income countries is poorly understood. Our study contributes the first population- level analysis of mental health disparities in India, where the two marginalized groups that we study constitute a population larger than that of the United States. Apply- ing two complementary empirical strategies to data on 10,125 adults interviewed by the World Health Organisation’s Survey of Global Ageing and Adult Health (WHO- SAGE), we document and standardize gaps in self-reported mental health between the dominant social group (higher caste Hindus) and two marginalized social groups (Scheduled Castes and Muslims). We find that differences in socioeconomic status cannot fully explain the large disparities in mental health that we document, espe- cially for Muslims. Our results highlight the need for research to understand the causes and consequences of mental health disparities in India, and for policies to move beyond redistribution and address discrimination against Scheduled Castes and Muslims. keywords: health disparities; mental health; social inequality; India; caste; religion ∗We appreciate helpful suggestions from Mahtab Alam, Gurinder Azad, Amrut Bang, Courtney Boen, Karthik Rao Cavale, Vikrant Dadawala, Jean Drèze, Irma Elo, Sonal Gihara-Sharma, Michel Guillot, Payal Hathi, Yogesh Kalkonde, Reetika Khera, Sirus Joseph Libeiro, Becky Pettit, Megan Reed, Jason Schnit- tker, Kanika Sharma, Dean Spears, David Sorge, Nikkil Sudharsanan, Satyajit Somavanshi, Reeve Van- neman, Yana Vierboom, the anonymous reviewers, the editors, and from attendees at SEARCH Gadchi- roli, Annual meeting of the Population Association of America, and the Ambedkar Jayanti Seminar at the University of Pennsylvania.

We are grateful to many individuals, both mental health professionals and policy makers, who gave us their time for interviews. All errors and omissions are solely our responsibility. Abstract Background This paper frames the state of mental health policy in India in terms of seven sets of questions, and seeks to provide at least partial answers to these questions, based on a meta-analysis of existing research. The context of the analysis is the arguably poor state of mental health care in India, as well as an unprecedented level of policy attention to the issue. Aims of the Study In brief, the questions we pose pertain to (1) the provision of such care in hospitals, (2) non- hospital provision, including by non-medical providers, (3) issues of education and social acceptance, (4) affordability, (5) within-country variation of care and possibilities for benchmarking, (6) aggregate resource impacts of a concerted effort to change policies and improve care, and (7) the shape of a more effective “continuum of care for mental health issues.

  • A Blog on Indian Experience of COVID-19, Economic Consequences and Related Mental Health Issues
    A blog on Indian experience of COVID-19, economic consequences and related mental health issues In this blog, IFoA members, Raunak Jha and Scott Reid, consider Indian experience of COVID-19, economic consequences and related mental health issues as part of the IFoA’s Covid-19 Action Taskforce “Every person with mental illness shall be treated as equal to persons with physical illness in the provisions of all health care.” (source: Mental Health Care Act (MCHA), 2017) Background This bulletin will focus on India, a developing country, where we will consider the economic consequences of COVID-19 on employment and subsequent mental health outcomes. Because of government interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic, India has suffered high rates of unemployment which has increased further the high prevalence of mental health disorders. Current state of mental health in India WHO has estimated that the burden of mental health problems in India is 2,443 Disability Adjusted Life Years per 100,000 population, and the age-adjusted suicide rate per 100,000 population is 21.1 [1]. In contrast, the UK suicide rate in England is 12.8 per 100,000 of population [2]. In 2017, around 197·3 million people had mental disorders in India, including 45·7 million with depressive disorders and 44·9 million with anxiety disorders [3]. Many epidemiological surveys carried out in India on mental disorders have demonstrated the prevalence of mental morbidity in rural and urban areas of the country; these rates are comparable to global rates. India globally has the 3rd highest number of COVID-19 cases behind the US and Brazil [4].

  • The Architecture of the Primary Mental Healthcare System for Older People in India: What Public Policies Tell Us Tom Kafczyk1* and Kerstin Hämel2
    Kafczyk and Hämel Int J Ment Health Syst (2021) 15:72 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13033-021-00494-8 International Journal of Mental Health Systems RESEARCH Open Access The architecture of the primary mental healthcare system for older people in India: what public policies tell us Tom Kafczyk1* and Kerstin Hämel2 Abstract Background: Old age mental healthcare is an issue that cuts across old age, general health, and mental healthcare policies. While strengthening the primary mental healthcare system in India is a common strategy across policy felds to improve the mental health of older persons, very little is known about the system’s planned architecture. This study explores public policy strategies for and approaches to the mental health of older persons, focusing on the primary healthcare (PHC) level and the role of the family. Methods: A document analysis of 39 key public national policy documents (2007 – 2019) from three thematically grouped policy felds (mental health, old age, and general health) was conducted. Results: Comprehensive community-based primary mental healthcare – focusing on vulnerable population groups including older persons – has been strengthened signifcantly since 2007. The promulgated approaches and strate- gies build on traditional community-based approaches to mental healthcare in India. They focus on (a) integrating community health workers into primary mental healthcare, (b) empowering the community to participate in health- care planning, implementation, and monitoring, (c) supporting the family through a family-led approach to mental healthcare, and (d) integrating traditional Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa and Home- opathy (AYUSH) services into primary mental healthcare. Conclusions: While all policy felds address mental PHC, they do so in diferent ways, and approaches and strategies that promote an integrated perspective across policy felds are lacking.
