IMPS (Inspiring Minds, Positivity and Support) is an independent website that explains mental health in plain language for readers in India. We write for students, parents, working people and families who want to understand what they, or someone close to them, may be going through, and what they can do next.
What you will find here
- Clear explanations of common conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD and bipolar disorder.
- Practical guides on exam stress, work stress, relationships and family life.
- Step-by-step information on getting help in India: who to see, what it costs and which helplines are free.
- A growing set of articles in Hindi, so more people can read about mental health in the language they are most comfortable with.
What we are not
IMPS is not a clinic, a hospital or a counselling service. We do not diagnose, treat or give personal medical advice, and we cannot respond to emergencies. Our articles are general information. For advice about your own situation, please speak to a qualified doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist.
How we write
Articles are researched, written and edited by the IMPS Editorial Team. We base them on trusted public sources such as the World Health Organization, NIMHANS and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and we update them when the evidence or the services change. Our editorial policy explains exactly how we work.
How the site is paid for
IMPS is free to read. Advertising covers the cost of writing and running the site, and advertisers have no say in what we publish. Read our advertising policy.
