Socio Demographic and Psychological Barriers to Utilization of Mental Health Services
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Large epidemiological surveys have demonstrated an alarming increase in prevalence of mental disorders. Despite that utilization of mental health services has not increased accordingly. There are different practical, physical, affective, cognitive and cultural deterrents to seeking professional psychological help. The availability, accessibility and nature of psychological services have improved over the years. However, still the percentage of people availing these services has not increased proportionately. The current study dwells upon unraveling socio demographic, affective and cognitive barriers which affect propensity to seek help.
