The study aims to examine the relationships between childhood mental trauma experiences, depression, anxiety, and stress concepts. The study sample consisted of 192 students. Data were collected with the “Personal Information Form, Childhood Mental Trauma Scale and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale Short Form” (Bahar et.al., 2023). The results included the rate of students who stated that they were exposed to any trauma in their childhood is 74%. The majority of students reported physical (28.2%) and emotional abuse (33.1%). Those who were exposed to childhood traumas scored high on the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale anxiety and depression subscale scores, and the difference between them was statistically significant. The search concluded that Childhood traumas are one of the important risk factors, especially for depression and anxiety disorders. It can be recommended that students seek individual Counseling/therapy to prevent the negative consequences of childhood traumas observed in adulthood, to provide psychosocial support to students, and to include practices that will increase psychological resilience (Bahar et.al., 2023).

The article I selected is
“Understanding and Addressing Mental Health Stigma Across Cultures for Improving Psychiatric Care: A Narrative Review” by Ahad, Gonzalez, and Junquera, published in the journal
Cureus in 2023. The reasons this article was chosen for the discussion include its great relevance to the critical topic of mental health stigma, a pervasive issue that considerably influences psychiatric care on an international level. The study outlines how cultural issues impact stigma and investigates possible strategies that may help dispel it; therefore, this is a timely and important resource for mental health professionals. The article discusses the mental health stigma across cultures in relation to the care of the psychiatric patient, how cultural variations affect stigma and shape barriers to care, and reviewed strategies including culturally sensitive education and awareness for stigma reduction. It is emphasized that for the improvement in psychiatric care, one needs to attend to stigma using tailored, cross-cultural interventions

I found this article particularly appealing, as my interest in mental health advocacy and employment with vulnerable populations has really grown. Stigma remains one of the main barriers to seeking out mental health, often leading to delayed treatment, impaired outcomes, and a reduced quality of life from mental health-related challenges. This narrative review focus is instrumental in bringing into great focus cross-cultural variations in stigma and the imperatives that ensure the interventions consider such variation, so poignantly necessary today in multicultural healthcare environs. This article also underscores targeted interventions toward improving psychiatric care. The emphasis resonates with my commitment to addressing systemic inequities in healthcare. The article gives a concrete insight, like culturally sensitive education and public awareness campaigns, that may be translated into both practice and policy to reduce stigma.
