Why This Matters in India
According to the National Mental Health Survey (NIMHANS, 2023), approximately 197 million Indians experience emotional distress, yet India has only 1 psychiatrist per 400,000 people. The stigma around mental health — captured in the phrase "log kya kahenge" — means most Indians suffer in silence rather than seek help. Professional therapy costs ₹1,500–3,000 per session, making it inaccessible for the majority.
This is why accessible, affordable emotional support matters. Whether you're dealing with breakup pain, relationship confusion, or family pressure, having someone who listens without judgment — in your language, on your schedule — can be the first step toward feeling better. Maya on Bolly.live is available 24/7 in Hindi and English, specifically designed to understand the Indian emotional landscape.
