Abstract
In both developed and developing countries, concerns about young people's mental health are growing.
According to studies, resource-poor nations like India have additional difficulties due to stigma, a lack of mental
health specialists, and a lack of knowledge regarding psychiatric diseases. Due to recent studies showing that
UG and PG students suffer much greater levels of psychological discomfort than the general population, mental
health issues may be even more common in these students. Adolescents, particularly college-bound
adolescents, have reported having trouble getting access to traditional mental health care, in part because of
the stigma still attached to psychiatric disorders. Disgrace over psychological health problems is widespread,
especially in developing countries like India. According to studies, stigma prevents many people with mental
health problems from getting help.Because of its wider reach and the anonymity it offers, the internet appears
to be a viable alternative assistance for young people who don't favor traditional help-seeking agencies in the
case of mental issues Regarding India or other developing nations, there are no available data. There is a
pressing need to understand more about how young people use the Internet for mental health difficulties and
how much trust they put in it, as well as how this influences their use of medical consultations.Despite being
one of the most widely utilized sources of knowledge globally, using internet tools to learn more about mental
health is a relatively untapped subject in this emerging globe
