“…Hence, it can be argued that the risk of debt in Asia is driven by the pressure of having possessions to show one belongs in that society. Combined with the negative perception some Asian countries have about mental illnesses (Venkatesh et al, 2015 ; Pang et al, 2017 ; Huang et al, 2019 ), this hypothetically may further discourage individuals facing mental health problems with their debt to seek assistance in time, which requires further extensive research. Hence, more research is needed to explore the influence of culture toward debt and the psychological consequences of debt.…”

Background: This article aims to review research manuscripts in the past 5 years that focus on the effects of debt on depression, anxiety, stress, or suicide ideation in Asian countries. Methods: A search for literature based on the PRISMA guidelines was conducted on Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect, resulting in nine manuscripts meeting inclusion criteria. The studies were conducted in Thailand, Korea, Singapore, Pakistan, India, Cambodia, and China. Results: The findings of the studies show that there is evidence to support that being in debt is related to Asian participants experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, or suicide ideation. However, the studies are limited to quantitative studies only. The definition of debt is also unclear in most manuscripts. Few manuscripts also examined how other factors influence the relationship between debt and mental illness. Conclusion: There are limited studies on the psychological effects of debt on the Asian population. Future studies should focus on the relationship between debt and psychological well-being among this population.

“…Stigma can be divided into both public and selfstigma. Public stigma occurs when the general public supports a prejudice about a stigmatized group while self-stigma occurs when a member of a stigmatized group internalizes the negative sights held by the general public [19]. Given its negative impact on treatmentseeking, for instance, perceived social barriers may be particularly important in predicting treatment behaviors, such as taking an antidepressant, to remedy an illness whose victims may experience social stigma [18].…”

Background Mental health is a global concern due to its hasty escalation. The shifting social dynamics in rural India intensify care-seeking behaviors, which means immediate action is required. Mental illness, however, is seen as a neglected disorder. This study examined the attitude of rural people towards mental health care in rural Odisha, India. An explanatory mixed-method study was conducted among 395 participants age between 18 to 65 years in two rural blocks of Khurdha district, Odisha. A total of 16 in-depth interviews were conducted among the caretakers of the patients. Results The educational level, religion, age, and gender (p < 0.05) had significantly associated with attitudes towards mental healthcare facilities; female having lower-education had more negative attitudes towards mental healthcare facilities. The major barriers for the mental healthcare were the rejection of mental illness by patients due to fear of societal stigma, faith on religious healers, and lack of availability of mental health services. Conclusions Perspective of people should be considered along with their location, gender, and education when strategizing the psychiatric healthcare system as their perception/attitude serves as facilitators/barriers for achieving mental healthcare goals and psychiatric hospital goals.

“…This finding is consistent with some of the previous studies. [22][23][24][25] Female nursing staffs were found to be more sympathetic toward the psychiatrically ill patients. Female nurses did not consider them as a threat to our society as compared with the male nurses.…”

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of stigma for mental disorders among nursing staff in a tertiary care hospital, and the secondary objective of the study was to assess the correlation of stigma with the socio-demographic profile and previous experience with mentally ill patients. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed among the 210 nurses working in a tertiary care multispecialty teaching public sector hospital in north India. They were evaluated on community attitudes toward the mentally ill (CAMI) scale. Results About two-thirds of the participants (67.1%) were females and had done graduation (64.2%) in nursing. Nearly 50% of the study participants had an experience of working with mentally ill patients. Female had a more significant positive attitude on the domain of social restrictiveness. Authoritarianism had a significant positive correlation with benevolence and social restrictiveness domains. The benevolence domain had a significant correlation with all other domains. Social restrictiveness domain also had a significant correlation with other domains. Conclusion Nurses have a positive attitude toward mentally ill patients.
