2022, Journal of Psychiatric ResearchCitation Excerpt :Korean adolescents suffer depression from academic stress and social expectation, which, in turn, are highly correlated with suicide ideation and suicide attempt(Kwon et al., 2016; Roh et al., 2015). However, adolescents in East Asian countries including South Korea, are reluctant to seek any help related to mental health care due to the strong social stigma(Nam et al., 2015; Snowdon, 2018; Suryadevara and Tandon, 2018). Persons with a lower education level were more likely to use non-psychiatric health care before death and less likely use any mental health care than those who were highly educated.
Mental health and imprisonment: Measuring cross-cutting symptoms among convicts in Punjab, Pakistan
2019, Asian Journal of PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Anxiety and depression are leading psychological disorders not only in prison (Bilal and Saeed, 2011) but also in general population of Pakistan (Gadit, 2007; Husain et al., 2007) and other countries of Asia (Shirzadi et al., 2019). In Asia, psychiatric illness can be considered as root cause of adverse self-harming behaviors like suicide (Suryadevara and Tandon, 2018) and is linked to stigmatization in legal settings (Majeed et al., 2018). So, there is a high need that psychologists play their role in the assessment of mental health issues in the prison setting.
“I will kill myself” – The series of posts in Facebook and unnoticed departure of a life
2019, Asian Journal of PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Though suicide is the leading cause of death among the young women (15–29 year) in Bangladesh (Salam et al., 2017), it is stigmatized and neglected. Moreover, suicide attempt and abetment of suicide is considered as a criminal offence in Bangladesh like few other developing Muslim countries in the South East region (Soron, 2019a; Suryadevara and Tandon, 2018). The legal barrier in addition to wide spread stigma and religious believe, people in Bangladesh hardly report suicide attempts.
