Understanding the reasons to avoid seeking mental health professionals: Validation of the MITOS-MENTAL questionnaire in Peru population

 


Why People Avoid Mental Health Professionals? Validating the MITOS-MENTAL Questionnaire in Peru 🇵🇪🧠


Mental health is crucial for overall well-being, yet many individuals hesitate to seek professional help. A recent study in Peru has validated the MITOS-MENTAL questionnaire, which identifies the reasons behind this reluctance. Understanding these barriers can help policymakers and healthcare providers improve access to mental health services. 📊🔍
 

Key Findings of the Study 📝


✔ Stigma & Social Judgment: Many people fear being labeled as "weak" or "crazy" if they seek therapy. 😟👀
✔ Lack of Awareness: Misconceptions about mental health and therapy discourage individuals from seeking help. ❓🤷‍♂️
✔ Financial Constraints: High costs and limited insurance coverage make mental health services inaccessible for many. 💰🚫
✔ Cultural Beliefs: Some believe mental health issues should be solved within the family or through religious practices. 🙏🏽👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
✔ Fear of Medication & Diagnosis: People worry about side effects, dependence, or being diagnosed with a severe disorder. 💊😰
 

Why This Research Matters? 🧐


Mental health issues like anxiety and depression are rising in Peru, yet many hesitate to seek professional help. The MITOS-MENTAL questionnaire provides valuable insights to break these barriers and promote mental well-being. 🌍❤️
How to Overcome These Barriers? 🚀

✅ Raise Awareness: Educate people about the importance of mental health and professional support. 📢📚
✅ Normalize Therapy: Encourage open conversations to reduce stigma. 💬🤝
✅ Affordable Care: Advocate for government and NGO support to make therapy accessible. 💵💡
✅ Community Involvement: Engage local leaders, religious groups, and educators to support mental health awareness. 🏡🌱

By addressing these concerns, we can create a society where seeking mental health support is encouraged and normalized. 💖✨

Polygeneration for the Net-Zero Era: A Power-to-X Approach Combining sCO₂ Power Cycle and Green Fuel Synthesis 1. Introduction to Power-to-X (P2X) and Polygeneration Power-to-X (P2X) refers to the conversion of surplus electrical energy—primarily from renewable sources—into different forms of energy carriers or chemical products such as hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol. These carriers support decarbonization, energy storage, and industrial feedstocks.  Polygeneration systems are advanced energy setups designed to simultaneously produce multiple useful outputs—such as electricity, fuels, heating, and cooling—from a single or integrated input. These systems are more efficient than traditional single-product systems, reducing waste and improving energy utilization. 2. System Configuration Overview The proposed P2X system consists of the following subsystems: Air Separation Unit (ASU): Provides pure oxygen and nitrogen. Direct Oxy-Combustion Supercritical CO₂ (DOC-sCO₂) Cycle: ...

  🧪📊 Evaluating Generic Drugs: Unpacking the Dimensions and Criteria of Value Assessment Frameworks In today’s healthcare landscape, generic drugs play a critical role in increasing access to essential medicines, particularly in emerging nations . 🌍 With their proven therapeutic benefits and cost-effectiveness, these drugs have become a cornerstone of global health systems. However, the evaluation of their value continues to pose challenges. Are lower prices truly synonymous with comparable clinical outcomes? 🤔 Despite widespread use, there remains skepticism around the product quality , bioequivalence , and real-world effectiveness of generics compared to original branded drugs. These concerns demand a robust, standardized approach to assess the value of generics — not just based on price, but through a multidimensional lens. That’s where our scoping review and thematic analysis steps in. 🔍📘 🎯 Objective: Filling the Assessment Gap The central goal of our study was to ...
