Journal Title: Studies in Social Sciences and Humanities - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Research into Chinese people‟s attitudes towards mental illness is significant given the increasing cultural diversity of our population and the unfortunate but alarming increase in the prevalence of mental illness, particularly depression and schizophrenia which inevitably resulted in anxiety disorder. Research results show that Chinese people under-utilised mental health services in Australia when compared with their Western counterparts.
