What we see in Kolkata

Kolkata presents a distinctive pattern: a significant share of young professionals have left for other cities or abroad, leaving ageing parents behind and adult children carrying long-distance guilt. Within the city, therapy is often sought around career uncertainty, family obligation and relationship difficulty. Cultural openness to reflection and discussion is comparatively high here, though clinical mental health support still carries stigma, particularly across generations.
