Dr. Harish Shetty, the psychiatrist of Dr. LH Hiranandani Hospital, Powai, who had previously written to the state task force, believes that a mental health task force is necessary. “The disaster’s effect phase has now lasted more than 15 months. The impact on mental health will be 100 times greater than any other tragedy. We need a mental health survey as soon as possible, much like the serosurvey,” he added.
