Mental health is a topic of growing concern in the era of digital lifestyles and globalization. Willingly or unwillingly, we have moved rigorously toward the technological panacea in all spheres of our life. On one hand, the digital world is undoubtedly easing us while on the other hand, it has caused significant changes in people’s lifestyles threatening the incumbent ethical considerations. Suffering from this ethical dilemma, enormous mental health issues have erupted today at an extremely fast pace. However, the world has limited infrastructures, particularly in the SAARC region to deal with these problems of mental health. In this article, we (authors) have tried to discuss psychiatric issues of the present time and available mental health infrastructures including mental health professionals (MHPs) in the SAARC region. We have also proposed some of the ways to mitigate all those problems to come in the near future.Abstract
