Inter Results: Mental Health Calls Plummet
13 Apr
Summary
- Mental health helpline saw a significant drop in calls post Inter results.
- Most calls were for exam guidance, not distress, unlike previous years.
- Increased awareness and reduced parental pressure may be contributing factors.

The Tele Manas government helpline for mental health support received a significantly lower number of calls following the recent Inter results. On Sunday, the helpline registered only 20-25 calls, a stark contrast to the over 120 calls received in the previous year.
Psychologists noted that the majority of callers were students seeking guidance on exam-related matters, such as supplementary exam dates, syllabus details, and reverification. Crucially, extreme distress calls were notably absent, suggesting a shift in student coping mechanisms or external support systems.
