“…42) A previous study showed that the situation was considered 'taboo' before the pandemic. 43) Due to the pandemic, physical distancing and lockdown policies have caused numerous individuals to confine themselves in their residences, thereby diminishing the chances for face-to-face engagements. Social media has become a preferred platform for expressing public opinions, perceptions, and attitudes towards various events or public health policies related to COVID-19.…”

One of the potential barriers to providing pharmaceutical care services to patients with mental disorders is stigma. Therefore, this study aims to explore the perception, attitude and stigma of community pharmacists toward patients with mental disorders in Indonesia. A self-report questionnaire was used including a convenience sample of 1,878 Indonesian community pharmacists from January to March 2023. The regression analyses showed that the perception in confidence level was significantly affected by age (95% CL :0.468-0.851; p-value:0.003) and work experience (95% CL: 1.205-2.284; p-value :0.002). Furthermore, age also affected the attitude of the community pharmacists towards patients with mental disorders (95% CL: 0.705-0.985; p-value: 0.033). Gender and a history of mental illness in a family member or a close friend contributed significantly to social distance (95% CL: 0.584-0.937; p-value: 0.013 and 95% CL: 1.212-1.779; p-value: <0.001, respectively). However, the self-disclosure of pharmacists about mental disorders remained unfavourable. In conclusion, this study found that majority of respondents had good perception and a low level of stigma towards patients with mental disorders. Based on the results, the continuous promotion of mental health awareness and education is recommended. In addition, sharing the personal experiences of individuals with mental disorders is essential for reducing self-stigma. Further studies are required to support service development in this field.

Purpose of Review Early intervention (EI) is now seen as the most evidence-based approach to improving outcome for youth with first episode psychosis and youth at clinical high risk for psychosis. However, despite the established benefits of EI, several challenges persist, including lengthy and convoluted pathways to care, poor engagement in services, and high rates of relapse. There is hope that the use of technology, and specifically social media, can address some of these challenges. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the existing literature on social media use and its implications for EI in youth experiencing early psychosis. Recent Findings Several studies have identified the potential roles that social media can play in early psychosis intervention including (1) as a source of objective and clinically meaningful digital information, (2) as a means to improve access to care, and (3) as a tool to enhance treatment delivery. Summary Despite risks, social media holds promise in enhancing early psychosis intervention though more research is needed. We outline its potential clinical applications and consider next steps for integrating social media data and use into clinical practice, aiming to maximize the benefits of social media use while minimizing associated risks.
