Implication

Qualitative research identifies cultural, structural, and interpersonal barriers influencing mental health help-seeking in Taiwanese adolescents, suggesting the need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

Help-seeking behavior among Taiwanese adolescents is significantly influenced by cultural and systemic barriers, requiring focused interventions.
Key findings indicate that stigma, peer pressure, and parental misunderstandings hinder adolescents from seeking mental health support.
This qualitative research used semi-structured interviews to understand the experiences of 24 adolescents aged 13–18 in Taiwan.
Addressing these barriers is essential for promoting better mental health outcomes in adolescents within this cultural context.
