Stress and Mental Health Help-Seeking
The Supportive Decision
Stress can affect the decision to seek mental health support by increasing stigma, reducing awareness, and influencing help-seeking behaviors. In the U.S., individuals may hesitate to seek mental health care due to stress-related concerns.
To prioritize mental health, practice stress management techniques such as destigmatizing conversations, accessing resources, and prioritizing self-care. Addressing stress supports proactive mental health management and enhances well-being.
