“…During the COVID‐19 pandemic, depression was one of Singapore's most prevalent MHCs (Ministry of Health [MOH], 2021): while data are lacking to establish causation, this was possibly linked to the increased suicidal cases in 2020 (Samaritans of Singapore, 2021; The Straits Times, 2021). Persons with MDD (PMDDs) are afflicted by deleterious biopsychosocial consequences, such as heightened risk for physical comorbidities and social dysfunction (Laursen et al, 2016; Liu et al, 2021; Tan & Goh, 2022; Villanueva et al, 2020). Among Singaporeans with long‐term diseases, MDD has been reported as the most common comorbid MHC (Abdin et al, 2022), further debilitating their ability to self‐care and elevating mortality (Almeida et al, 2020).…”

Persons with major depressive disorder (PMDDs) often experience pernicious ramifications on the biopsychosocial aspects of their health. While community mental health services (CMHSs) in Singapore are increasingly leveraged to meet the escalating demand for mental healthcare, shortcomings such as a substantial treatment gap and the lack of holistic, culturally sensitive care have been highlighted. Of note, the perspectives of the service users, which have hardly been studied in the literature, are crucial to our understanding of their needs to continuously improve CMHSs. Accordingly, this qualitative descriptive study explored the perceptions and experiences of community‐dwelling adults with major depressive disorder in their use of CMHSs in Singapore. Seventeen adults with major depressive disorder purposefully sampled from a CMHS provider were interviewed through a semi‐structured guide between October and November 2021. Data analysis via Braun and Clarke's six‐step thematic framework yielded five themes corresponding to three different phases: pre‐CMHS encounter ((i) procrastination to seek help and (ii) factors influencing CMHS utilization); intra‐CMHS encounter ((iii) incongruous perceptions of the impacts on biopsychosocial health and (iv) differing perceptions and experiences of culturally sensitive care); and post‐CMHS encounter ((v) enhancing CMHSs for PMDDs based on end‐users' experiences). Our findings underscore the need to improve the delivery of personalized mental healthcare services, use of settings‐ and culturally‐specific anti‐stigma strategies, and nationwide mental health literacy in symptom recognition and awareness of help‐seeking resources.

Background Little was known about the relationship between perceived neighborhood environment and depression among residents living in mega-communities. Furthermore, the mediating effects of physical activity (PA) and anxiety in this relationship have not been investigated. Thus, this study aimed to comprehensively examine the association between perceived neighborhood environment and depression among residents living in mega-communities, and test whether PA and anxiety mediated the association. Methods A cross-sectional study on perceived neighborhood environment and depression was conducted among individuals who lived in mega-communities (n = 665) in Guiyang, China from July to August 2022. Perceived neighborhood environment was assessed from the following six aspects: traffic, building quality, accessibility, neighborhood, indoor, and pollution. Depression was measured by the Patients Health Questionnaire-9. Structural equation model was used to evaluate the association between perceived neighborhood environment and depression, and test the mediating effect of PA and anxiety in this association. Results We found that neighborhood (β = -0.144, p = 0.002) and PA (β = -0.074, p < 0.001) were both negatively associated with depression, while anxiety was positively associated with depression (β = 0.447, p < 0.001). Married residents were less likely to experience depression than residents of other marital status. PA played a mediator role in the relationship between accessibility and depression (β = 0.014, p = 0.033). PA mediated the relationship between neighborhood and depression (β = -0.032, p = 0.015). The mediating effect of anxiety in the relationship between perceived neighborhood environment and depression was not significant. Conclusions This study demonstrated that neighborhood, which was assessed by satisfaction with safety, hygiene, parking, greening, lighting, and building shape, was negatively associated with depression, and PA mediated the relationship.

The current cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the extent to which demographic characteristics, stigma, and social support impact the self-management abilities of individuals with bipolar disorder in remission. Participants ( N = 114) completed a demographic questionnaire, Self-Stigma Scale–Short Form, Social Support Rating Scale, and Self-Management Scale for Patients With Bipolar Disorder. Mean scores were 60.65 ( SD = 10.42) for self-management, 35.76 ( SD = 7.14) for social support, and 21.38 ( SD = 5.06) for stigma. In the univariate analysis, age, educational level, method of payment for care, illness duration, and number of hospitalizations demonstrated significant associations with self-management ( p < 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between self-management and social support ( r = 0.574, p < 0.01) and negative correlations between self-management and stigma ( r = −0.489, p < 0.01) and stigma and social support ( r = −0.476, p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis included number of hospitalizations (β = −3.818), social support (β = 0.436), literacy (β = 2.132), and stigma (β = −0.397). Individuals in remission from bipolar disorder exhibit moderate levels of self-management. Follow-up interventions should prioritize enhancing social support and addressing stigma to promote improved self-management and overall well-being.
