Dharan is home to B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences — one of Nepal's most demanding medical training environments. Healthcare workers and students here face profound occupational stress. Digi Therapy provides confidential mental health support for healthcare professionals, students, and all Dharan residents, delivered online.
Mental Health in Dharan
Dharan is unique in Nepal: it hosts one of the country's most important hospitals (BPKIHS), creating a local population with high health literacy but also high occupational stress among medical workers, doctors, and nursing staff. Dharan also has a historically significant Gurkha recruitment connection — many families have members in the British or Indian Army, creating a specific pattern of military family stress and extended separation. The city also serves as a commercial hub for eastern hill districts.
