Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the relationships between help-seeking behavioral intentions and recognition of mental illness without correct identifcation of the illness name, as well as correct labelling of major depression and schizophrenia using a vignette about a person with major depression and schizophrenia in a cross-sectional survey of 9,484 Japanese high-school students aged 15-18 years.The ability to know mental illness without identifying the disease may increase help-seeking from friends. To promote help-seeking behavior among adolescents, improving their ability to recognize mental illness generally is recommended.
