Overview

Systematic review highlights barriers and facilitators for mental health treatment access in ASEAN countries.

Key Points

  • Barriers to psychological help-seeking include stigma and low mental health knowledge, affecting many individuals.
  • Forty-six studies were reviewed, highlighting diverse social, personal, and structural factors impacting help-seeking.
  • Narrative synthesis was used due to the heterogeneity of data across the studies included in the review.
  • These findings suggest further intervention is needed to address identified barriers and promote help-seeking.
