Haan, Tele-MANAS 14416 is our national mental health helpline, free and 24/7—it's a crucial first step for someone in crisis who feels alone. But from my little clinic here, I've seen the real help is in the follow-up; the helpline connects them to us, the local professionals who walk with them long-term. It works because that initial voice saying "I hear you" from the helpline is often the courage they need to finally step into my waiting room, smelling of morning sea and old magazines.
