Mental health disorders have been surging across the country. Amidst this, Mumbai - The City of Dreams - is facing the brunt of these a bit more than others. A 2020 study concluded that the city recorded the highest spike of 205% in the number of people seeking online consultations for mental health disorders. Given the city's population of 20 million, this is huge. Mumbai is also characterized by dense slums housing large migrant populations facing stressful lives. In this scenario, the burden of mental health disorders is bound to be substantial.

Even though the Mental Healthcare Act mandated that the government of India must maintain an internationally accepted ratio of psychiatrists and patients, the reality is far from it. According to a report shared by The Hindu in October 2019, the four mental health hospitals for psychiatry in Mumbai are depressingly understaffed. As per another report shared by Hindustan Times in 2020, half of the psychiatrist posts in the hospitals of Maharashtra are vacant.

There is a vast gap between the number of individuals who need assistance and the amount of support that is accessible. In other words, there is a severe lack of state-run facilities for mental health care. The problem has only worsened due to the high population density, inadequate mental health facilities, and the rise in mental health cases. To accommodate the increasing number of patients who require assistance, there is a need for more mental health facilities and professionals.

Fortunately, there is still some hope. You don't need to leave your house to get help; it's right there. By using DocVita, you may quickly get in touch with reputable psychiatrists. You no longer need to hold off. You can easily book consultations with the best psychiatrists from the comfort of your home.

Due to the rising demand for adequate resources and the lack of professionals, making essential mental health services accessible for the residents of Mumbai has become more challenging and distressing. Additionally, the pandemic-imposed lockdown had established a constant state of uncertainty. Such a scenario left Mumbaikars perplexed as they had no means to know that their right to receive healthcare would become a privilege.

The city also faced several logistical difficulties brought on by the increasing urbanization, growing population, and traffic-congested roadways. Additionally, there is a severe lack of psychiatrists. From the outside, it appears like Mumbai needs help creating a robust and reliable administration framework for the city's well-being. It seems to be struggling to provide its residents with a healthcare system that is affordable and easily accessible. In the middle of this, access to psychiatric healthcare is hindered.

However, a number of organizations in the city have also taken steps to advance the use of online consultations for mental health. And in this rising tide of change, DocVita has taken the lead.
