Depression is a mental health problem caused by multifactors and is common in adolescents. Adolescents who live in orphanages are considered vulnerable to the appearance of depression. Even so, adolescents who live in orphanages in Jakarta generally still have parents so they can establish a warmth relationship as protection against depression syndrome. In addition to parents, adolescents who live at the Orphanage also establish warmth relationships with friends and caregivers. This research was conducted to find out how the warmth of adolescent relationships with parents, caregivers and friends with depression syndrome among adolescents in orphanages. This study was conducted in 402 adolescents (male: 179; female: 223; M: 14.88) in 20 orphanages in Jakarta. The results of the study show the warmth of relationships with mothers, fathers, caregivers and friends in adolescents at the middle level and symptoms of depression at low levels. Furthermore, this study found that only the warmth of the relationship with the father correlated with depression syndrome.

Objective: General practitioners (GPs) are key health professionals for referrals to mental health specialists. Youth mental health issues are particularly challenging, requiring a competent assessment and understanding of appropriate referral pathways. We surveyed local GPs about their understanding of youth mental health problems and needs to competently look after young patients. Methods: GPs working in the Hunter region were contacted via email, fax and post over a 6-month period in 2019. Results: Seventy-five GPs participated. They reported 577 of 1698 (34%) of young people seen 2 weeks prior to being surveyed presented with a mental health problem. Predominantly, referrals were to private practice psychologists and Headspace. Almost a third (31%) reported having limited understanding of ‘at-risk mental state’ and are ‘not always comfortable’ when facing a young person with a mental health problem. Nearly all (95%) expressed interest in attending specialised training. GPs identified treatment costs, scarce access to psychiatrists and limited patient engagement as the main obstacles to help young people. Conclusions: Effective treatment of a mental health problem relies on early identification. GPs are seeing young people on a regular basis but don’t feel well equipped for this task and are keen to up-skill, which needs to be addressed by targeted training.

This study examined the relationship between two sets of variables, symptoms of depression and health behaviors of adolescents. Analysis using canonical correlation produced two significant canonical variates. Results suggest that addressing symptoms of negative mental health in adolescents may be an important step toward facilitating positive health behaviors in this age group.
