In India, we have 90 million persons in need of Mental Healthcare but only ONE psycho-therapist for every 10,000 patients !
Govt of India and a few States have launched TELEPHONE - BASED , tele-consulting service called MANAS , which can " listen to " , only a FEW lakh patients per year
There is an urgent need to launch a CHATBOT portal , powered by Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) , which can listen to a MILLION persons at a time and provide answers ( - both , ChatGPT and BARD do this but they are NOT trained for answering mental health problems )
This e-mail to Dr Swapnil Lale ( Add Director - Mental Health / Govt of Maharashtra ), contains the exhaustive FRAMEWORK of such a portal
