Abstract

The Indian Constitution guarantees all fundamental rights to mentally ill people. Gender is a significant factor when a woman develops a mental illness, the necessary assistance is sometimes tardily sought. Although laws exist to safeguard the rights of mentally ill women receiving institutionalised care in India, execution is still a pipe dream. Women who are institutionalised with mental illnesses might experience change in their life and see improvements in their mental health with coordinated efforts at the social, political, economic, and legal levels. This research focuses on the issues mentally ill women encounter when receiving treatment and care within a Mental Health Care Centre.
