Pengaruh Pola Pikir Tradisional terhadap Kesehatan Mental di Era Ini

Abstrak

The social stigma surrounding mental health in Indonesia remains poorly understood, causing many individuals to conceal their mental health conditions due to cultural influences. Negative perceptions of mental disorders, societal stigma, and customary pressures significantly affect public understanding and treatment of mental health issues. This traditional mindset contributes to the rising prevalence of mental health disorders in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the influence of culturally rooted mindsets on mental health in Indonesian society. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method through a literature review of scientific journals and articles, as well as interviews with individuals who have experienced cultural stigma related to mental health. The findings indicate that deep-rooted cultural stigma hinders individuals from seeking professional help. Therefore, continuous education and advocacy efforts are necessary to shift societal perceptions and improve mental health literacy in Indonesia
