The study explores the journey of people living with mental illness. In India near 4.1% of annual fiscal budget is allocated to health care services but only 0.82% of that is spent towards mental health care indicating the scant attention paid towards mental health care.

Studies have been done on caregiver but little attention has been given to the person when the caregiver is attending. This study explore the lived experience of people with mental illnesses as it is an under researched area of study.
