Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This exploratory mixed-method study examines the attitudes of 54 women in Mysuru, India, toward mental healthcare and their everyday distress coping strategies. The findings indicate that while a majority screened positive for depression risk, most rejected clinical services due to stigma or perceived inadequacy, preferring self-managed coping methods that often resemble behavioral therapies. The resource is relevant for researchers and clinicians interested in treatment gaps and community-based coping mechanisms in lower- and middle-income settings.
