A friend of mine is going through a very tough time and I'm worried about him. I want to help him find support. Does anyone know if there's a national mental health hotline in India that he can call?

Look, if you or someone you know is feeling extremely low or having dark thoughts, do not hesitate. Call the government's Kiran helpline at 1800-599-0019 immediately. It is free, confidential, and available 24/7. Don't sit on it, help is just a phone call away.

Beta, if your mind is feeling very heavy and you have no one to talk to, please call the Kiran helpline at 1800-599-0019. There are kind doctors on the other side who will listen to you and guide you nicely without any judgment. Do not keep your pain inside.

In India, the primary government mental health helpline is 'Kiran' at 1800-599-0019. It was set up by the Ministry of Social Justice and is fully professional. If you are facing any acute distress, call them without a second thought.

There are some really good, accessible helplines in India now. Apart from the national 'Kiran' helpline (1800-599-0019), organizations like Vandrevala Foundation also offer great support via call or chat. I always keep these numbers saved in my phone's health notes app just in case.

I have personally used the Tele-MANAS helpline (14416) during a severe panic phase last year. The counselors are trained, speak multiple Indian languages, and can really help de-escalate a crisis. Don't feel shy about calling—it is a very normal step toward getting better.
