The book Mental, Emotional, and Behavioural Needs of Specific Populations following COVID-19 in India: Findings from Qualitative and Quantitative Studies reviews quantitative and qualitative research, conducted during and post-pandemic, on economic, social, psychological, and health factors across diverse, specific populations in India. It studies numerous psychological elements of COVID-19 in the context of recovery, handling, coping, and resilience and offers practical approaches for reproducing results and outcomes.

The book includes predictors of mental well-being across women survivors, students, migrant women, and neurodivergent populations. Chapters focus on a wide range of themes including the mental health of Border Security Force personnel during COVID-19 and issues of women's violence and mental health problems amongst poor and migrant workers after COVID-19. The book also throws light on sensitive and beneficial topics such as experiences of a mother of an autistic child and the strengthening of LGBTQIA+ mental health through personal growth initiatives.

It is valuable reading for researchers, mental health practitioners, policymakers, and educators to learn about the most recent developments, concerns, and real-world difficulties encountered, and solutions taken in the mental health field following COVID-19, as well as offering implementable methods for replication.
