Mental Health Courses by Government: List of courses offered by IGNOU, TISS, NIMHANS and others

Ministries and several government agencies, including IGNOU, TISS, and NIMHANS, provide mental health courses to assist individuals and promote awareness to young people. Recently, we have learned that youth have been impacted by mental health issues such as childhood epilepsy, developmental disabilities, depression, anxiety, and behavioral disturbances. This affects our thinking, behavior, and mood, and to some extent, our very being. The WHO recognizes the importance of mental health to attain everyone’s health, Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013-2030. The WHO Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan recognizes four important objectives: implement strategies for mental health promotion and prevention, and strengthen information systems, evidence, and research for mental health.
