'The emotion of pain evolved in order to protect us. Loneliness is a social pain. It isn’t a personal failing, but an indication of an unfulfilled human need.' — CurioCity_org (ArpitaJ83, deepikak_15 & thecatlyf) MentalHealth Cities
The Curio-City Collective aims to build holistic well-being in Indian cities by re-connecting people, communities and ecosystems through the practice of reflection, education and action. India is expected to have 590 million people living in its cities by 2030 – and that’s currently almost half of our total population! The implications of such rapid urbanisation on our mental health will be unprecedented, and multiple cities are already showing signs of being under severe stress.
The 2015-16 National Mental Health Survey of India pointed out how there exists a greater prevalence of mental health conditions in the country’s larger cities. This was specifically true of certain psychological conditions related to mood, stress, schizophrenia and other kinds of psychoses, which are nearly two or three times more prevalent in urban metros. In fact, the NMHS has even recommended an ‘urban-specific mental health programme’.
