Abstract

Mental health illnesses have assumed pandemic proportions, especially post-COVID, adversely impacting society and the global economy. The effect is more pronounced in India, ailing with inadequate mental healthcare infrastructure and management. The mental health illness burden is a drag on the achievement of SDGs as well. Spiritual care, religious-healing, and faith-healing have recently received greater emphasis in research and practice. Several practices within each are either proven support systems or cures. There is, however, a globally recognized downside that it is unregulated, which provides room for misuse and abuse, which are rampant. The current chapter demystifies the nexus between mental health, SDGs, and spiritual care, and necessitates a call for sagacious legal advocacy
