Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 outbreak, only 12.7% of public health workers sought mental health help, with older workers, those with longer working hours, previous psychological training, and higher perceived societal support being more likely to seek help. Common reasons for not seeking help included the belief that mental health issues were not a priority, lack of time, and shortage of psychologists.

Summary: This study analyzed mental health literacy (MHL) associated with perinatal mental health problems (PMHP) among perinatal women and the public. The findings revealed a lack of ability to recognize PMHP and to identify relevant symptoms among both perinatal women and the public. Perinatal women had low intentions of seeking help for PMHP and preferred seeking help from informal sources, while reporting various barriers to seeking help. Stigmatizing attitudes associated with PMHP were found among the public. Therefore, educational campaigns and interventions are needed to improve perinatal MHL in both perinatal women and the public.

Summary: The majority of the 80 studies treated sex and gender as dichotomous variables, focusing on the burden of internalizing disorders, such as anxiety and depression, among women, while neglecting externalizing disorders. Men were identified as a risk group in terms of unfavorable health behavior, while women continue to be a vulnerable group burdened by multiple stresses and mental health symptoms.

Summary: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of web-based help-seeking behaviors for depressive symptoms. The results indicate a positive relationship between online support groups and depressive symptoms, while there were no significant relationships found with internet support and specific self-help tools. More research is needed to examine the outcomes and assess web-based help-seeking behaviors.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the general population's mental health could be influenced by their perceptions of major pandemic issues such as risk perception, government trust, media coverage and authenticity, and conspiracy theory. People's attitudes towards these issues could arouse emotional reactions and affect their psychological well-being.

Summary: Many children with mental health problems do not receive professional help. This study aimed to investigate the effects of digital health interventions (DHIs) on parents' mental health literacy, help-seeking, and uptake of services. The results showed that there is currently no high-quality evidence that DHIs can improve these outcomes. Further research is needed to assess the effectiveness of DHIs using rigorous study designs.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the mental health of young people, leading to decreased resilience and help-seeking behavior. A study conducted in Australia with 181 adolescents aged 12-17 years found that their resilience levels were low and they were unlikely to seek help for challenges with anxiety or depression. The findings highlight the need for strategies to increase resilience and promote help-seeking among Australian youths during the pandemic.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions have led to significant psychological distress. A study found that individuals who seek help for COVID-19 related psychological distress are often female, younger, and have a higher level of education. These individuals also reported pre-existing mental health problems. Higher levels of pandemic stress, younger age, and pre-existing mental health problems were associated with higher symptom levels, but functional emotion regulation strategies acted as a buffer.

Summary: This study used machine learning to predict the demand for online mental health services during the COVID-19 pandemic, and proposed an interpretable prediction method. The study found that there was a massive growth in online psychological help-seeking behaviors during the pandemic. Temporal features had the greatest predictive power for the number of help-seeking behaviors, and topic features also had positive effects on the prediction.

Summary: This systematic review examines the relationship between COVID-19 news consumption and mental health in young people. The findings suggest that increased consumption of COVID-19 news is associated with decreased mental health, particularly for news obtained on social media. Misinformation may further exacerbate this relationship. Future research should utilize longitudinal designs and reliable measures of news consumption to explore the negative mental health impacts of COVID-19 news on young people.

Summary: The traditional approaches to measuring depression after traumatic brain injury (TBI) have limitations. This study adopted a symptom-oriented approach and found that post-TBI depression is highly heterogeneous. Different depressive symptoms have distinct associations with personal, injury-related, treatment, and outcome factors.

Increasing suicide rates among divorced/separated, never-married, or widowed individuals suggest a need for more psychosocial support.

Summary: This study examined the relationship among family accommodation (FA), posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and functional impairment. The results showed that FA was significantly associated with PTSS and functional impairment. Baseline FA partially mediated the relationship between baseline PTSS and functional impairment. Changes in FA from pre- to post-treatment were associated with relevant outcome variables at post-treatment and 12-month follow-up.
