  2. Adolescents experience different social contexts than adults including high levels of influence from parents, peers, school systems, and social media
  3. Youth avoid care: mental healthcare in school systems (stigma), stigmatizing/bullying on social media, adolescents can’t yet make autonomous dicisions
38
Q

Advantages of diagnosis

Sheehan et al., (2022)

A
  • Might enhance general understanding about these disorders
  • Youth with PD could be viewed as recovering from a treatable illness instead of being judged as inherently “bad” or “different”.
  • Severe symptoms –> higher stigma, even before diagnosis –> careful approach to early intervention might outweigh the risk of the diagnostic label
39
Q

Recommendations

Sheehan et al., (2022)

A
  • Adolescents entering treatment for first time: how to talk to friends/teachers about symptoms
  • To reduce stigma: focus on coping and relationships rather than medical or clinical aspects such as diagnosis.
