Indian 'Mental Healthcare Act, 2017': CBR Matrix for inclusive implementation

India has witnessed a major shift from the predominant seclusion in the Indian 'Lunacy Act 1912', when there was no effectiveness in the treatment provided, to the 'Mental Health Act 1987', when the focus was on the treatment and care of mentally ill patients along with some efforts to de-stigmatize and ensure human rights, to the recent Indian 'Mental Healthcare Act 2017' (IMHA), which primarily focuses on the human rights of people with mental illness. This article analyses the IMHA, which was passed on 7 April 2017. The IMHA is a welcome Act after its predecessor 'Mental Health Act 1987'; however, it is not the ultimate solution. This article highlights the impediments in the IMHA implementation and suggests a win-win model for its implementation. A tailored version of the CBR matrix is proposed for the inclusive implementation of the IMHA.
