New Delhi: It is quite natural that people might face trouble and mental health issues during a complete lockdown where one is forced to remain indoors for a while and restricted to roam out freely.
In view of this the government has launched a toll-free helpline number 08046110007 – for people who may face any mental health issue due to the ongoing countrywide lockdown.
The health ministry on Sunday said that the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, has launched the number.
“National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences (NIMHANS) has also launched a toll free number 08046110007. I request everyone to fight unitedly against this disease so if we see any mental health issues then all the institutes are equipped to provide you with necessary support”, said Lav Agarwal, Joint Secretary, the Ministry of Health at the press briefing.
