New Delhi, India: Sonu Tyagi, Founder of Go Spiritual and Approach Entertainment, today issued an urgent wake-up call on the global mental health crisis, branding it humanity’s gravest challenge in the face of chilling incidents like the harrowing Mumbai hostage standoff where a mentally unstable man held 17 children captive in a Powai studio over unpaid work dues before being killed in a police crossfire, the brutal murder of a seven-year-old girl in Bengaluru by her mother’s partner for “disturbing privacy,” a couple’s fatal road-rage chase of a delivery agent over a broken car mirror, and the honeymoon killing of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi allegedly orchestrated by his wife Sonam.
These tragedies, Sonu Tyagi warned, are not random but symptoms of a deeper epidemic of untreated trauma, rage, and isolation that will intensify in the coming decades without immediate, bold intervention.
“The Mumbai hostage horror—where Rohit Arya, driven to desperation by financial woes and mental instability, terrorized 17 auditioning teens with threats of arson and self-harm before his fatal confrontation with police—exposes how personal despair can endanger entire communities,” Sonu Tyagi stated. “The Bengaluru child murder—where a man repeatedly slammed a second-grader’s head on the floor and smothered her because she interrupted his intimacy—reveals a terrifying void of empathy. The couple who chased and rammed a gig worker to death over a minor scrape, then returned masked to collect evidence, shows how fleeting frustration can explode into lethal violence.
And the Raja Raghuvanshi case, where a bride allegedly hired killers days after her wedding, lays bare the lethal cost of suppressed truths in relationships. These are not isolated horrors; they are red flags of a society unraveling under mental strain. If we don’t act now, the future will drown in such despair.”
Sonu Tyagi underscored that mental health disorders already afflict over 280 million people globally, with India reporting one in seven citizens affected—yet fewer than one psychiatrist per 100,000 population. In 2025 alone, urban youth suicides have surged 15%, workplace mental health claims have doubled, and high-profile acts of violence linked to emotional breakdown dominate headlines. “Social media algorithms amplify inadequacy, gig economies fuel burnout, and AI-driven job displacement breeds existential dread,” he said. “Add climate anxiety, geopolitical unrest, and digital dissociation, and we’re staring at a 30% rise in mental disorders by 2030. In India, untreated mental illness could cost $1.5 trillion annually in lost productivity by 2040.”
Yet Sonu Tyagi’s message is one of hope through holistic action. “Spirituality offers the anchor science alone cannot,” he asserted. “Through mindfulness, self-inquiry, and community, we can rebuild resilience.” Sonu Tyagi called for integrating mental health into universal healthcare and funding neuro-spiritual research, mandating mental sabbaths in workplaces while measuring wellness ROI, teaching emotional intelligence alongside academics in education, and designing AI companions to uplift rather than isolate.
To combat this crisis head-on, Go Spiritual is amplifying its initiatives on mental health, suicide prevention, and humanity. The organization’s Go Mindful campaign, set to launch in 2026, will deliver free workshops across India, focusing on stress management, emotional resilience, and crisis intervention for youth and families.

These efforts, integrated into the Go Spiritual News Magazine & App with AI-powered mood trackers, survivor stories, and expert columns, aim to destigmatize mental health and empower individuals to choose healing over harm.
