“…However, the representation of depression as a long-term mental illness could intensify negative attitudes toward contemporary depression treatment methods, because this representation may lead to the perception that the current treatment methods are ineffective. Overall, in their attempts to deromanticize depression by showing that it is a serious mental health condition that should be treated, the work of Russian-speaking vloggers is close to that of vloggers who discuss depression in English on YouTube (Johnson et al, 2021). Differences in depression portrayals across channels.…”

“…YouTube is one of the social networks that present depression portrayals (Gaus et al, 2021; Johnson et al, 2021; Sangeorzan et al, 2019; Zheng et al, 2021). In comparison with traditional media sources, YouTube, like many other social networks, provides an opportunity for those who are not mental health professionals to speak about depression, including those who have experienced depression, their relatives and friends, and lay people.…”

“…Therefore, the representations of depression on this platform are more varied than in traditional media. For example, testimonials on depression on YouTube may coincide with narratives about chronic illnesses (Zheng et al, 2021) and address specific social groups that experience depression, such as Black Americans (Johnson et al, 2021).…”

This article analyzes the mental health discourse on the most popular Russian-language channels on YouTube. The main research focus is depression representations. In total 345 videos were examined, issued since 2015 and till 2021. Using theoretical thematic analysis, the content creator types are identified, and these types are compared in terms of their portrayals of depression. The findings demonstrate that the most popular Russian-language content was made by (1) specialists on mental health, (2) influencers and celebrities, (3) documentalists, and (4) experientialists. The channels of popular science, those with TV recordings, religious, esoteric, and artistic channels were found to be watched less, despite also featuring mental health. The results regarding depression representations showed that most content creators describe depression as an illness. Additionally, the depression portrayals from the contemporary, popular Russian-language YouTube channels generally correspond with contemporary medical perspectives on depression, and the authors discussed depression using words and collocations from the medical discourse. Therefore, it could be assumed that the Russian-language representations of depression on this platform are based on the medical explanatory model of depression and are highly medicalized. The paper contributes to studies of mental health discourse reception across cultures and media, as well as the literature on depression representations.

This study aims to determine the effect of group guidance in assisting children reaching puberty in Central Lombok. The strategy uses group guidance and the media uses youtube videos and hands-on practice with tutorials.

The research method used is experimental with pretest and posttest designs. Subjects consisted of 6 students aged 9-13 years. The topics discussed are 1) what and how puberty is, (2) the influence of puberty in the social environment, 3) the meaning of menstruation, and how to live a healthy lifestyle. Based on the data, the results of the pretest showed an average value of 21% and a standard deviation of 2.44%. The posttest results showed an average value of 24.8%, standard deviation of 4.49%.

Based on the satisfaction questionnaire after being given group guidance, a score of 20-24 is included in the very good category.

“…For instance, the theory outlines that counselors should intervene within the areas of economic stability, education access/quality, healthcare access/quality, environment, and social/community context, collectively termed SDOMH. To apply this theory to practice, four distinct actions are outlined: (1) Actively seeking to understand and increase awareness about SDOMH, including the root causes, being systemic racism; (2) Implementing a universal assessment of SDOMH needs; (3) Addressing inequities for and with students, families, and communities; and (4) Advocating for the expansion of school counseling to consider inequities in the ecological systems of students (Johnson et al, 2021a(Johnson et al, , 2021b.…”
