Detailed Description

A study conducted in 2009 by the Bangalore-based National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences placed the average age of the depressed Indian at 31 years. Mental illness in India is high in the age group 30–40, and minor depression, if not properly addressed, could easily deteriorate into major depression. This project aims to blend the design thinking process with insights from behavioural psychology to design a product system that remedies some of the core symptoms associated with mild depressive disorders in India’s university students (18–30 years age group).
