One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide.
Treatments are available, but nearly two-thirds of people with a known mental disorder never seek help from a health professional. Stigma, discrimination and neglect, prevent care and treatment from reaching people with mental disorders, says the World Health Organization (WHO).
To support the child, the adolescent and everyone else in their mental well-being, Brain Behaviour Research Foundation of India (BBRFI) has been conducting pioneering work. Combining cutting-edge technology with good-old counseling, BBRFI has made a significant impact.
At the event BBRFI will also launch its Annual Magazine on mental health, “Brain Behaviour — Mind Matters” followed by Hi-Tea. Through panel discussion and keynotes, the event hopes to raise awareness of mental health, reduce stigma, share knowledge and improve outcomes.
Looking forward for a confirmation of your esteemed presence at the earliest.
