Abstract

ackground: Population ageing is accelerating globally, with India witnessing a rapid
increase in its elderly population. Mental health problems among older adults often remain
under-recognized due to stigma, limited awareness, and inadequate integration of mental
health services into primary care. Mental health literacy plays a vital role in early identification,
help-seeking behavior, and improved quality of life.
