“…It has also been reported that while patients with depression understand the need for treatment, they lack awareness of their depression and its causes of their symptoms [ 33 ]. In this study, the highest score at week six for lack of insight was 1 point (doubtful or trivial) and no patient had complete lack of insight.…”

“…Research indicates that people with depression and other people with mental illness are considered unpredictable, even dangerous ( 53 ). Furthermore, people with depression are usually stigmatized as incurable, weak, and unable to communicate ( 54 ). These stereotypes might cause depressed people to perceive themselves as less lovable, more flawed, or inferior ( 55 ).…”

IntroductionDespite extensive research on clinical treatments for depression, there remains a significant gap in understanding of the lived experiences and recovery journeys of those with depression. This study sought to explore the recovery process through an “anti-stigmatizing” lens, emphasizing the cultural–psychological mechanisms at play and the importance of personal narratives in shaping the recovery trajectory.MethodsUsing a collaborative autoethnographic approach, this report focuses on the first author’s journey of depression recovery. This research methodology allows for an in-depth exploration of subjective experiences, with a specific emphasis on the interaction between societal stigma, personal identity, and mental-health challenges.ResultsIt is found that the depression-recovery experience can be divided into four stages from an anti-stigma perspective: (1) encountering the public stigma of emotions; (2) internalizing the stigma to a self-stigma; (3) “decriminalizing” the expected stigma of a “depressed” identity through diagnosis; and (4) being able to cope with and understanding the public stigma relating to depression when facing it again. Key factors that were found to contribute to recovery were self-awareness, community empowerment, and recognition and acceptance by close friends and family.DiscussionWe propose a reconceptualization of depression that incorporates a societal perspective on internalized stigma. Recovery from depression is not merely a medical process; it also pertains to how the patient frees themselves from public stigma. The results strongly indicate the need for a paradigm shift toward a more inclusive and empathetic approach to mental-health care, and we emphasize the importance of personal narratives in depression recovery.

“…The patients need to get technical services from practitioners in medical institutions. The issue arises when adolescents with depression are susceptible to criticism due to feelings of worthlessness [31], causing them to avoid pursuing face-to-face treatment and consultation [32,33,9]. Therefore, this current method is not sufficient for adolescents due to the consulting activities involved.…”

Depression is a critical public health problem, mainly when it affects young people (adolescents). This condition is most challenging to detect in this group because they tend to think about other people's negative assumptions. Adolescents with depressive symptoms refuse to seek professional help due to their stigma and their future if they were labeled as depressed teenagers. Depression is a severe mental issue that should be detected from an early stage so that the problem can be curbed and resolved immediately. Diagnosis should be carried out to assess mental health, followed by referral to professional help. This study aims to motivate adolescents to diagnose depression levels through gamification techniques. Fifty-three secondary students participated in a survey designed in this study to measure motivation enhancement factors. The result of this study was used to develop a depression diagnosis model. The proposed model applied a gamification design technique consisting of three main ideas: gamification elements, user types, and motivational elements. This model will serve as the foundation to develop a mobile application system that can benefit users, especially adolescents, in self-diagnosing depression.
