Understanding Chennai's Context: Chennai's blend of traditional Tamil culture and modern IT growth creates unique stressors. The city's conservative social structure often makes discussing mental health taboo, leading to delayed help-seeking. Working professionals face long commutes on OMR and ECR, adding to daily stress. The city's healthcare and automobile sectors employ thousands facing shift work challenges. Academic pressure is intense with numerous engineering and medical colleges. Climate factors like extreme heat and periodic flooding add environmental stressors. However, Chennai's strong family support systems and growing mental health awareness, particularly post-pandemic, are encouraging signs.
