Mental disorder, depression are common factors in the current era, we can say it is the curse of technology to human beings. There are many rumours about the mental illness. Stigma about mental disorder is the centre issue faced by Indian society. Specially, women are the major target of mental disorder. The new word is defined to Mental Stigma is ‘Sanism.’ Because now-a-days, the term Sanism is compared with racism or sexism. Current scenario shows that there is much Sanism within Indian Society. Even, there is much wrong information regarding to the mental illness. Another factor is the suffering of women in this Patriarchal world. In Indian society, women are born only for taking care of household work and children. They are given subordinate treatment everywhere including their workplace wages too. The current work is an attempt to interlink the myth regarding to mental illness in the society and consequences that Indian women suffer in the Patriarchal world.
