Mental health library
Every Mindly condition page, guide, article and language-specific clinician page, grouped by topic so you can find what you need.
Last updated 2 November 2026
How the library is organised
The library gathers everything Mindly has written for patients and families, grouped by topic instead of by format. Under each topic you will find the condition pages that explain signs, assessment and treatment, plain-language guides, longer articles, and the pages that show which of our clinicians speak your language and treat that concern. Start with the topic closest to what you are facing, or use the search box in the menu. Each page says when to seek help and where to turn in a crisis.
Our pages are written for people in India and use sources such as the World Health Organization, NICE guidance, the National Mental Health Survey and the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines. They are information, not a diagnosis or a substitute for a consultation. A clinician can tell you what applies to you.
