Resumo: The present study investigated the perception of young Brazilians of professional help and barriers to seeking mental health services. A total of the 1,030 questionnaires were administered to young people aged 8-21 years of both genders attending public and private school or who had received or were receiving treatement at mental health facilities in three Brazilian cities. The data were evaluated using descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, and comparison between means. The results showed fear of stigmatization as a major barrier to seeking mental health treatment, exerting greater impact than that of structural barriers. Regional differences influenced their perception of the treatment. Having undergone previous mental health treatment was found to be related to a greater perception of the positive effects of the treatment and the structural barriers to accessing care services. It was found that the onset of mental disorders usually occurs during early adolescence. School-related issues, anxiety, fear, and depression were the most common reasons for mental health treatment seeking among young people.

Foram aplicados 1.030 questionários em jovens com idade entre 8 e 21 anos, de ambos os sexos, em três capitais brasileiras, de escolas e serviços de saúde mental públicos e privados. Foram realizadas estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais, comparação entre médias e análise fatorial exploratória. Os resultados demonstraram o medo do estigma como barreira na busca de tratamento em saúde mental, tendo maior impacto que as barreiras estruturais. Diferenças regionais influenciaram a percepção sobre o tratamento. Experiência anterior com tratamento em saúde mental relacionou-se a uma maior percepção dos efeitos positivos do mesmo e das barreiras estruturais para acesso aos serviços. Identificou-se maior incidência de adoecimento mental no início da adolescência. Problemas na escola, ansiedade, medo e depressão foram os problemas mais comuns relacionados à busca de tratamento em saúde mental.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2023-03-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7891Psychological Studies; Vol. 33 No. 2 (2016): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 33 Núm. 2 (2016): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 33 n. 2 (2016): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7891/5415Copyright (c) 2023 Cláudia Cristina FUKUDA, Maria Aparecida PENSO, Deise Matos do AMPARO, Bruno Coimbras de ALMEIDA, Camila de Aquino MORAIShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFUKUDA, Cláudia CristinaPENSO, Maria AparecidaAMPARO, Deise Matos doALMEIDA, Bruno Coimbras deMORAIS, Camila de Aquino2023-03-21T11:44:16Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7891Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2023-03-21T11:44:16Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
