Funded Activity Summary

When a young person first begins to experience a mental health problem, getting professional help as early as possible is recommended. However, it is unclear whether being able to label the problem correctly when they first become aware of it actually assists a young person in getting the help they need. This study will look at how over 3,000 young Australians labelled mental disorders and which labels were more likely to guide them in choosing the best kinds of professional help and treatment.
