Abstract

This research examined the effect of stigma on depression by interviewing 6 grade 11 and 12 high students attending an international school in Shenzhen, China. A volunteer sample of 6 students was chosen for the study. Once permission to conduct the study was granted, interviews were arranged and conducted using semi-structured interviews. The research transcribed the data, then applied thematic content analysis to interpret the data, and the overarching theoretical framework was qualitative. By learning more about the mechanisms that increase stigma, it was hoped that more knowledge could be produced in this area. The study also aimed to clarify some barriers to seeking professional help for students suffering from depression. Using this knowledge, it is hoped that effective interventions for adolescents suffering from mental health disorders can be implemented. It was evident from the study that seeking help for depression is a challenging task.
