Abstract
The mental health of people in South Asia is an essential aspect of their life. It is becoming increasingly a matter of concern, with many people experiencing problems like depression, anxiety, and addiction. Studies have shown that South Asia has a higher rate of mental illness than many other regions of the world. Inappropriate knowledge and mental health stigma make it hard for people to seek help and to get proper treatment. Mental health services are also often not good enough or easy to get because there are insufficient trained professionals and resources are scarce.

期刊介绍:
Founded in 1910, The Round Table, Britain"s oldest international affairs journal, provides analysis and commentary on all aspects of international affairs. The journal is the major source for coverage of policy issues concerning the contemporary Commonwealth and its role in international affairs, with occasional articles on themes of historical interest. The Round Table has for many years been a repository of informed scholarship, opinion, and judgement regarding both international relations in general, and the Commonwealth in particular, with authorship and readership drawn from the worlds of government, business, finance and academe.
