Abstract

The Mental Healthcare Act (MHCA), 2017 marked a paradigm shift in India’s mental health landscape by reframing mental illness through the lens of rights, dignity, and person-centered care. While the Act enshrines psychosocial interventions as an essential component of treatment, implementation remains uneven, hindered by workforce shortages, systemic biomedical bias, financial inaccessibility, and weak ethical oversight. This commentary critically examines the interface between MHCA 2017 and psychosocial care, highlighting gaps in service delivery, the persistence of harmful practices such as conversion therapy, and the neglect of adverse outcomes in psychotherapy. It argues that without structural reforms including integration of the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021, expanded insurance coverage, stronger accountability mechanisms, and recognition of allied professionals psychosocial interventions risk remaining marginalized. The article emphasizes the urgent need for rights-based, culturally sensitive, and ethically sound practices to realize the transformative vision of MHCA 2017. Strengthening psychosocial care is not ancillary but central to building a mental health system grounded in equity, recovery, and human dignity.

Abstract

Adolescence is a sensitive developmental period marked by heightened neurobiological plasticity, identity formation, and socio-emotional learning. As generative artificial intelligence becomes embedded in adolescents’ daily lives, existing frameworks for digital harm, built around screen time and social media exposure, may not capture its distinct psychological affordances. This study aims to reframe adolescent AI overuse as a qualitatively distinct developmental and relational exposure, rather than an extension of screen time. Using a narrative synthesis of developmental science, relationship science, and documented public cases published between 2018 and 2025, the study examines how AI reliance intersects with five developmental domains: emotional regulation, social learning, identity formation, autonomy, and attachment. The synthesis identifies recurring conceptual risks  externalized coping, recalibrated relational expectations, externally validated identity, deferred autonomy, and displaced attachment while noting that direct empirical evidence in adolescent samples remains sparse. The study proposes a working definition of adolescent AI overuse and an interim clinical, educational, and policy framework, offering a conceptual foundation for the empirical research this area still lacks.
