Abstract Background Despite the increased attention given to improvement of mental health-related knowledge and attitudes, rates of help-seeking for mental illness remain low even in countries with well-developed mental health services. This study examines the relationships between attitudes to mental illness, symptoms of common mental disorder and seeking-help and receiving medication for a mental health problem. Methods We used data from the nationally representative Health Survey for England 2014 to design three logistic regression models to test for the effects of attitudes to mental illness (measured by a shortened version of the Community Attitudes toward the Mentally Ill, CAMI scale) on: recent contact with a doctor for a mental health problem; use of any type of mental health service in the last 12 months; and having antidepressants currently prescribed, while controlling for symptoms of common mental disorder (measured by the General Health Questionnaire, GHQ). We also tested for an interaction between attitudes to mental illness and symptoms of common mental disorder on the outcomes. Results A significant but very small effect of CAMI score was found on ‘antidepressants currently prescribed’ model (OR = 1.01(1.00, 1.02) but not on the two indicators of help-seeking. We also found a significant but very small interaction between CAMI and GHQ scores on recent contact with a doctor (OR = 0.99, 95% CI (0.990, 0.998); adjusted Wald test P = 0.01)). Knowing someone with a mental illness had a significant positive effect on help-seeking indicated by: (a) recent contact with a doctor (2.65 (1.01, 6.98)) and (b) currently prescribed antidepressant (2.67 (1.9, 3.75)) after controlling for attitudes to mental illness. Conclusions Our results suggest that knowing someone with a mental health problem seems to have a further positive effect on help-seeking, beyond improving attitudes to mental illness. Furthermore, multiple different types and aspects of stigma may contribute to help-seeking behaviours, consequently multi-faceted approaches are likely to be most efficient.

Objective: This report records the level of exposure to depression-related information across the Australian community and explores associations with recognition of depression and relevant sociodemographic factors. Method: A cross-sectional telephone survey was conducted with a representative community sample. Participants consisted of 3200 respondents (400 respondents across each Australian State/Territory). Results: Sixty-five point four per cent (n=2089/3193) of respondents indicated that they or someone close to them had experienced depression, of whom 18.7% (n=391/2089) reported a personal experience of this illness. Various measures of recent exposure to depression-related information were high with 69.0% (n=2207/3200) reporting that they had seen, read or heard something in the media in the last 12 months. Recognition of beyondblue: the national depression initiativewas also surprisingly high (61.9%, 1982/3200). Those with greater understanding that depression is common and debilitating were more likely to recall recent media stories, spontaneously recall relevant organizations such as beyondblue, to have had direct or family experiences, to be younger and to have achieved higher levels of education. Depression, however, is rarely mentioned (1.3%, 47/3720) as a major general health as distinct from a mental health problem. Conclusion: The active promotion of depression-related material to the community appears to have contributed to recognition of the commonality and impacts of this illness. Although depression is commonly recognized as a mental health problem, it is not yet considered a major general health problem. Further, like many public health campaigns, those initially reached appear more likely to be female, younger, better educated and residing in metropolitan areas.
