Stigma may keep many in Japan from seeking mental health care
Original: Mental health stigma in Japan may deter care
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside report that mental health stigma in Japan may be deterring people from seeking professional care. The finding, picked up by Medical Xpress, points to social attitudes as a barrier to treatment in a country where psychological distress is often concealed. Observers say the results could inform public health campaigns aiming to normalise therapy and counselling.
Why now: New research highlighting cultural stigma as a barrier to mental health treatment in Japan is drawing attention to an ongoing public health concern.
