Depression Among Young Vietnamese: An Alarming Reality

According to the latest statistics, about 25% of Vietnamese youth show signs of depression, but only 10% seek professional help. Mental health stigma, academic and work pressure, and lack of awareness are the main barriers.

Depression is not weakness. If you feel persistent sadness for more than 2 weeks, loss of interest in everything, sleep changes, or feelings of hopelessness, please contact a mental health hotline or visit a psychiatrist.
