Mental Health Literacy
Mental Health Literacy (MHL) is defined as our ability to recognise specific disorders or different types of psychological distress but is equally relevant to all communities. It is learning not only about the knowledge about risk factors and causes of various psychiatric disorders but also self-help, knowledge of professional services and how to seek help and remain well.
Mental Health Literacy consists of:
A low level of mental health literacy prevents us from recognising signs of distress in ourselves or other people around us, which can stop us from seeking help and support. Mental health literacy is important in increasing appropriate help-seeking and support in urban, rural and tribal communities. A lack of awareness about mental health in the public may lead to discrimination and stigma toward those living with mental illness. Culture and society have a role to play in MHL by influencing the understanding of mental health, and mental illness, and the availability and acceptability of mental health services.
Mental health literacy is proposed as a means of enhancing respect towards a person experiencing mental distress, promoting self-care, providing supportive care for others and reducing stigma. For persons with mental ill-health, good mental health literacy helps to manage their condition more effectively. As a community measure, improving mental health literacy can reduce mental health inequalities and lower the burden on government and healthcare services.

Poor mental health literacy can result in poor mental health outcomes resulting in higher disease and hence economic burden in places where mental health services are already scarce. Just having general literacy (ability to read and write) alone will not improve mental health literacy. We need to have good knowledge and awareness of mental health, mental distress/ mental illness to develop good mental health literacy. People in our country face several challenges including illiteracy, poverty, poor mental health policies and a lack of appropriate community care facilities for treatment and support. Strategies to enhance MHL should be considered a priority in our country as a means to develop mental health promotion, increase our ability to recognise mental distress early, improve support and care systems, enhance the rights of people with mental illness and diminish stigmatisation attitudes towards mental illness.

Good mental health is not about always feeling happy and confident 100% and ignoring all the problems and difficulties in our daily lives. It is about living well and having the ability to manage these problems and difficulties. Our culture shapes the way we think and it plays a major influence on how we think about mental health and mental illness and influences our help-seeking. India is a country with rich and diverse cultures, traditions, beliefs and faiths. With the right support, care and awareness, anyone can live well, with or without mental illness. That’s why it is important to have mental health awareness to support ourselves and those around us.
Anybody can experience mental health problems. Talking about mental health helps us to share our experiences of dealing with these difficulties. It helps to educate and create awareness of what mental illness is and help those with mental illness know that they are not alone. Just like public health services, it is about time that we think about public mental health services in emerging economies such as India, which will help to create a better understanding of the need for promoting the mental health of the wider population, and at the same time to eradicate the misunderstanding, stigma and marginalisation of people with mental illness.
