        <title>General comments</title>
        <p>This paper [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>] is timely given the situation in India. Unfortunately, the manuscript does not include information that can help the readers to contextualize the need to do the study and the rationale to conduct the validation. The discussion is too general to raise awareness concerning the mental health of university students.</p>
