Mental Health Crisis in India, Drug and Alcohol Abuse The rising incidence of youth suicides in India has drawn urgent attention to the country's growing mental health crisis, exacerbated by drug and alcohol abuse. With mental health resources limited, especially in rural areas, many young people struggle with depression, anxiety, and addiction without adequate support. The lack of awareness and social stigma surrounding mental health further deepens the crisis. The alarming rate of substance abuse among the youth highlights the need for effective prevention and rehabilitation programs. Immediate intervention is critical to addressing the mental health crisis in India, fueled by drug and alcohol abuse.
