The very mention of the town “Angoda” has widespread negative connotations, as the National Institute of Mental Health is situated there. This points to the wider issue of stigma that surrounds the treatment of mental health issues.

We compiled a story on Microsoft Sway based on the visit, along with discussions with others working in the mental health sector.
