A recent global study has highlighted a worrying trend in Hyderabad, indicating a low level of mental well-being among the city’s youth. According to the study, Hyderabad ranks poorly on the Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) scale, with young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 being the most affected. Many individuals in this age group have reported experiencing significant distress. The findings shed light on the mental health challenges faced by the city’s younger population, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and support for mental well-being. Experts suggest that addressing these issues is crucial to ensuring a healthy and productive future for Hyderabad’s youth. The study serves as a wake-up call for authorities and mental health professionals to prioritize mental health initiatives and resources in the region. It is essential for the community to come together to provide a supportive environment for individuals struggling with mental health issues and work towards destigmatizing discussions around mental well-being. By acknowledging and addressing these challenges, Hyderabad can take significant steps towards improving the overall mental health landscape in the city.
