Abstract

Mental health challenges are widespread in India, affecting roughly one in seven people. However, there is often a stigma attached to seeking help for these issues. Instagram, a popular social media platform in India with over 120 million users, is helping to break down this stigma by providing a safe and supportive space for people to talk about their mental health. Instagram users can share their personal stories and struggles with mental health, and connect with others who are going through similar experiences. This can help people to feel less alone and more understood. Organizations and mental health experts also use Instagram to disseminate information and resources, providing support and services to those who need them. Instagram is a valuable tool for advancing mental health awareness and assistance in India. It is a safe and easily accessible platform for people to share their feelings, seek aid, and connect with mental health resources.
