A study by the Indian Institute of Technology, Jodhpur, found that the self-reporting rate for mental health problems in India is less than 1%. The study, based on data from the 75th round of the National Sample Survey, 2017-18, revealed that social stigma is a significant factor in low self-reporting. The study also revealed a socioeconomic divide, with self-reporting being 1.73 times higher among the rich compared to the poorest.
