DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY: SOCIOECONOMIC BARRIERS AND SUPPORT 2
Depression and Anxiety: Socioeconomic Barriers and Support
Depression and anxiety are forms of mental illnesses that have spiked following the
outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Studies by Jolliff et al. (2021) showed that adolescents
and young adults experienced elevated cases of depression over the previous two years.
Increased access to treatment services is therefore critical in the fight against the scourge.
Furthermore, the availability of primary interventions such as counseling and therapeutic
services for individuals experiencing traumatic events will be key in overcoming depression and
anxiety.
Socioeconomic Barriers to Change
Social stigma: Social stigma rooted in cultural beliefs and dogma is a major barrier in the
fight against depression and anxiety. Young people develop fear preferring avoidance of
practitioners. Cultural beliefs that view mental illnesses as curses act as a barrier to refusing to
seek treatment services (Evans-Lacko et al., 2018). Furthermore, stigma can lead to
discrimination or disgracing of the patients with the disease among healthcare practitioners.
Scarcity of mental health services: Mental health resources are scarcely available to
vulnerable youths. In many cases, reaching hospitals that provide mental health services may be
laborious, especially in rural areas where residents have to travel long distances. Those accessing
the services are forced to wait for days or weeks before seeing healthcare practitioners (Jolliff, et
al., 2021). Many farmworkers in rural areas and low-income earners in urban centers may lack
insurance coverage to access quality healthcare services for depression and anxiety.
