Project description
The research explores the dynamics of various social facets of mental health perceptions and stigma among Pakistani adolescents and young adults. Family and education, as socializing agents, intervene in these social facets, accommodating prevailing traditional and religious healing practices for mental health issues. The study also examines the roles of causal attributions in shaping help-seeking behaviors.
