We provide here the first bottom‐up review of the lived experience of mental disorders in adolescents co‐designed, co‐conducted and co‐written by experts by experience and academics. We screened first‐person accounts within and outside the medical field, and discussed them in collaborative workshops involving numerous experts by experience – representing different genders, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and continents – and their family members and carers. Subsequently, the material was enriched by phenomenologically informed perspectives and shared with all collaborators. The inner subjective experience of adolescents is described for mood disorders, psychotic disorders, attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, externalizing disorders, and self‐harm behaviors. The recollection of individuals’ past histories also indexes the prodromal (often transdiagnostic) features predating the psychiatric diagnosis. The experience of adolescents with mental disorders in the wider society is described with respect to their family, their school and peers, and the social and cultural context. Furthermore, their lived experience of mental health care is described with respect to receiving a diagnosis of mental disorder, accessing mental health support, receiving psychopharmacological treatment, receiving psychotherapy, experiencing peer support and mental health activism, and achieving recovery. These findings can impact clinical practice, research, and the whole society. We hope that this co‐designed, co‐conducted and co‐written journey can help us maintain our commitment to protecting adolescents’ fragile mental health, and can help them develop into a healthy, fulfilling and contributing adult life.

“…Hal tersebut menjadikan persepsi seseorang jika sudah sakit maka harus minum obat. Karena masyarakat mempercayai dengan pemberian obat seseorang akan cepat sembuh dari penyakitnya (Dikec et al, 2022). Sehingga aktivitas seperti perawatan diri kesehatan jiwa yang dapat dilakukan setiap hari dengan mudah dikesampingkan oleh sebagian masyarakat.…”

Background: Negative coping for generation Z causes psychosocial problems. One of these problems is the lack of mental health self-care and one of the deficiencies of these factors is socio-cultural problems. The Mataraman ethnic group is the largest ethnic group in East Java. With the largest population of Generation Z, this ethnicity is always guided by the culture and values ??of that ethnicity. Objective: to analyze socio-cultural relations with mental health self-care for the Mataraman ethnic group. Method: the research design used is an analytical survey and a cross sectional approach. The sample technique used was purposive sampling with a total sample of 420 generation Z of Mataraman ethnicity. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires with Googleform and the media used were WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok and Instragram groups. The test used is the person correlation test. The instruments used were the Cultural Connected Scale-California (CCS-CA) for socio-cultural variables and the Mindful Self Care Scale (MSCS) for mental health self-care variables. Results: The most common socio-cultural variable for generation Z of Mataraman ethnicity was tradition (Mean ± SD; 49.89 ± 6.87), while in the mental health self-care variable the largest average was physical care (Mean ± SD; 21.89 ± 4 .63), and the value of the relationship between the two variables is a p value of 0.000 while the person test value is 0.29. Conclusion: there is a relationship between socio-culture and mental health self-care in generation Z of Mataraman ethnicity, but these two variables have a weak relationship. So that suggestions for subsequent research can be analyzed related to other factors such as perceptions and beliefs. As well as carrying out mental health nursing interventions with cultural sensitivity.
