Greek adolescents' views of people with mental illness through drawings: mental health education's impact

Abstract: People with mental illness are among the most stigmatized and discriminated against as a result of lack of knowledge among the public. Our study explored adolescents' perceptions of people with mental illness through drawings, described these perceptions, and tested the possible changes in perceptions after an educational mental health intervention. Drawings were collected before and after an educational mental health intervention from 59 Greek secondary school students. One group of participants served as the… Show more

“…[78] As in studies from Lebanon, [79] Singapore [13] and China, [80] evil spirits and God's punishment were important determinants of public stigma in India relative to environmental factors. Similar to adolescents in Greece, [81] Indian youth believed that mental health problems were easily identifiable and that people with such problems appeared markedly different. We also find that considerable youth believe in both traditional/faith healers and psychiatry as part of India's pluralistic medical system [82,83].…”

“…Theme 2: the appropriateness of school as a setting for mental health support Sakellari et al (2014) hold the view that mental health should be a subject that is taught early before young people create pre-conceived ideas of depression and associated stigma. Their experimental group uncovers negative perceptions from adolescents who have had no education around mental illness.…”

“…However, Issakainen and Hanninen's (2016) study does not explicitly define the three-stage analysis process which has been applied, therefore as a consequence it could be considered weaker evidence. Sakellari et al (2014) are keen to show that adolescents who have had no prior involvement with mental health professionals tended to portray professionals as different in appearance from others. Likewise, in their illustrations they drew children suffering from a mental illness with no recognisable gender characteristics and with bright red eyes.…”

“…Drawings can provide an additional way to capture the experiences of caregiving among family caregivers of persons with dementia. It was proposed that, compared to explicit and verbal tools such as interviews or questionnaires, drawings allow to express inner feelings and distress more spontaneously, and are subject to less methodological biases (Barel-Shoshani & Kreitler, 2017; González-Rivera & Bauermeister, 2007; Mays et al., 2011; Sakellari, Lehtonen, Sourander, Kalokerinou-Anagnostopoulou, & Leino-Kilpi, 2014). While several projective drawing tests are available (such as the House-Tree-Person test, the Kinetic-Family-Drawing test), the Human Figure Drawing Test (HFD) is the most widely used to assess emotional indicators (Nan & Linz, 2012; Panek, Hayslip, Jenkins, & Moske, 2015).…”
