Abstract
Good health refers to the mind and body's soundness and the state in which its tasks are carried out properly and effectively. Health is described by the World Health Organization as "a condition of complete physical, mental, and social well-being". There are a variety of elements that influence health in developing nations like India, such as poverty, food insecurity, food pricing and malnutrition, pollution and deterioration of the environment, occupational and reproductive health issues, cost prices of private health care systems, public health care delivery systems, and so on. The health of mothers, new-borns, and children is currently the prime agenda of multilateral organizations, international cooperation agencies, and governments around the world. Children are our future, and maintaining their health, development, and growth should be the top priority for all nations. Malnutrition, infectious diseases, being born underweight, maternal or neonatal or infant mortality, and other factors make new-borns and children more susceptible. This paper looks at the changes in the Mental Health Act 1987 to the new legislation of 2017 for the treatment and care of a mentally ill person and analyzes the various provisions of it from a psycho-socio-legal perspective.
