Florence Pugh, a 29-year-old actress, revealed in a podcast interview that she struggled to cope with the intense emotional demands of filming for her movie. To get into character, she had to imagine a traumatic scenario where her siblings were deceased and she was attending their funeral. This immersion led to feelings of anxiety and guilt, causing her to hyperventilate and question whether she could maintain her mental well-being throughout the production process.

Currently, there is only one shelter at Mullikorai in Udhagamandalam that houses homeless people, with a capacity for 89 residents. The facility, managed by the Anbu Arivu Foundation, provides temporary housing during emergencies but requires individuals to be shifted to other facilities afterwards. Activists note that homelessness is rare in the Nilgiris, but those who are homeless often suffer from mental health issues and may not seek help due to their condition. Local residents can contact the Anbu Arivu Foundation or district officials such as the police, Social Welfare Department, or Revenue Department for assistance. The Udhagamandalam Medical College and Hospital also provides emergency care and recovery services for homeless individuals with mental health issues, but they are then referred to halfway homes like Mullikorai.

Dr Baowen Xue, lead author of the study, emphasized the need for targeted support and resources, such as respite care and workplace flexibility, to help maintain the health and well-being of sandwich carers.

The National Health Commission's (NHC) announcement of a new hotline for people to seek help with mental health issues has been met with mixed reactions. While experts like psychotherapist Xiaojie Qin see it as a positive step, others are skeptical about the quality of services provided by such hotlines. According to Qin, there is no shortage of existing helplines in China, but the key issue lies in their effectiveness. A user on Xiaohongshu shared a negative experience with a psychologist at a local hospital, expressing distrust towards mental health professionals and questioning the usefulness of hotlines like the one announced by the NHC.

The number of children needing specialist treatment for severe mental health issues increased by 10% between April and October 2024, with 34,793 emergency, urgent, or very urgent referrals made during this period. This is particularly concerning given that the child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) are at a breaking point, with nearly 40,000 children waiting at least two years for support in 2022-23.
