Description
Vijay Gogoi and co-authors map mental and substance use disorders across three districts of Assam in a 2023 study. India's national survey put Assam's lifetime mental morbidity near eight percent, but district pictures were missing. Local programs need local numbers, and the state's districts differ sharply in terrain and society.
Households in Dibrugarh, Barpeta, and Cachar were sampled with standard scales. The study compares common and severe disorders, their economic toll, care use, and disability across the districts. Geography writes itself into mental health statistics; planners who ignore district differences will misplace clinics and staff.
