Health Policy In India (Mental) The Mental Health Act in India 2017 has been in force since May 2018. The act provides mental healthcare and services for anyone with mental illness and protects, promotes and fulfils the rights of such people to get proper health care and services. This Act is the successor of the Mental Health Act, 1987. The new health policy India lists out a bunch of new mental health standards: The Mental Health Act in India, 2017 decriminalizes the attempt to commit suicide. Subsequently, it makes sure that the affected person gets rehabilitation opportunities. If the affected person has the required knowledge, the act allows him/her to make decisions regarding their mental health. The Act bounds insurers to make provisions for medical insurance to treat mental illness the same as physical ailments. Furthermore, it keeps all the mental health patients at par to get healthcare and treatment from the government. Unlike the previous Mental Health Act 1987. The Mental Health Act in India has provisions for the registration of mental health institutions and pushes for the regulation of this sector. The provisions ask for setting up mental health institutions across the country so that no patient has to travel far. Coupled with creating a mental health review board that acts as a regulatory body. The Act restricts the use of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). It is used along with anaesthesia and muscle relaxants in emergencies. Hence, ECT is not a viable therapy for minors.
