ABOUT THE BOOK

Understanding Mental Health Through the Prism of Law by Dr. Pallab Das is a pioneering work that explores the complex intersection between mental health and legal frameworks, with a particular focus on the experiences of law students in Odisha's higher education institutions. Drawing on both analytical and empirical research, the book delves into the evolution of mental health concepts, the persistence of stigma, and the unique pressures faced by youth and students in contemporary India. Through a multidisciplinary lens, Dr. Das and his research team examine statutory developments, institutional initiatives, and the lived realities of students, offering key findings and actionable recommendations for promoting mental well-being in legal education. With contributions from experts in psychiatry and law, and grounded in the context of India's evolving mental health policies, the book serves as an essential resource for educators, policymakers, and advocates seeking to foster supportive environments and address the silent struggles of students within the legal profession
