Mental illnesses are among the most important contribution to the global burden of disease and disability. Despite the huge burden of mental illness, huge numbers of patients do not take treatment because of some social factors. The objectives comprised to understand the social barriers in accessing mental health care from one of the mental hospital of Uttar Pradesh from the perspective of the health personnel and the patients and patient’s family members. This research is very sensitive in nature, because this research conducted on people with mental health problems, therefore respondents and mental hospital name is not revealed in this paper. Thirty respondents (10 patients and 20 providers) were selected purposively from one of the mental hospital of Uttar Pradesh.
