Should teenagers be allowed to receive therapy for mental illness without the consent of their parents?

[adityabhura]

A lot of teens have attempted death by committing suicide because they weren't able to receive care for their mental illnesses. Not just that, a lot of them who aren't mentally ill but are from an abusive family could benefit from it. Should the age of consent be reduced for this?

Yes one should receive therapy for mental health as it is the most unaware disorder which people don't take seriously.At times our parents don't take it seriously but this is possible when ones age is above 18.As per the reports of WHO, India has nearly 15% of the global mental disorders .So we need to make a halt in this.
