Document Summary

Things that reflect a general normalization of the whole idea of psychological disorders and lessening of the stigma toward mental illness include ted talks and celebrities revealing their own traumas. Women participate in therapy more often than men, and people aged 35 through 55 seek treatment more often than younger adults and the elderly. In canada, asian and natives are both less likely to seek mental health treatment than caucasians: north americans in general seek it more than israel, hungary, japan, and korea. Of 1600 adults who had been diagnosed with depression or an anxiety disorder, only 30% were receiving some form of therapy: some even significantly delay doing it after becoming aware of their mental health status. Some people can be skeptical of their physicians and their efficiency of different treatments. In one study, 99% of respondents said they would seek mental health treatment if they believed it would be helpful.
