This narrative review synthesizes existing research on <em>Multigenerational Resilience</em>, focusing on the roles of cultural traditions, spirituality, and social networks in indigenous communities. Drawing on psychological, anthropological, and ecological perspectives, this study introduces the Multigenerational Resilience Theory (MRT), which conceptualizes resilience as a dynamic, intergenerational process reinforced through oral narratives, collective rituals, and shared belief systems. The theory highlights three core mechanisms: cultural transmission, social cohesion, and active adaptation, which enable communities to maintain resilience in the face of social, environmental, and political challenges. By integrating insights from resilience theory, cultural transmission models, and social support frameworks, this review offers a novel theoretical perspective that bridges individual and collective resilience. The findings contribute to resilience studies by emphasizing the necessity of culturally embedded approaches in fostering psychological well-being and developing targeted interventions. Future research should further explore empirical validation of MRT across diverse indigenous populations to refine its applicability and impact on social policies and mental health programs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8543,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of psychiatry","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 104485"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143823757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relative Search Volume is a metric provided by Google Trends, it is normalized to a scale of 0–100, where 100 represents the peak popularity of a search item within the selected time frame and location. Various psychological diseases and treatment modalities were searched individually, with all data and statistical analysis performed using Microsoft Excel and R v4.3.2.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div><strong>T</strong>he analysis revealed an overall increase in annual search interest for various mental health conditions, with Anxiety peaking in 2023 and Depression reaching its highest Relative Search Volume (RSV) in 2019. While Bipolar Disorder (BPD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) also showed an upward trend, their increases were less pronounced. Additionally, search interest in therapeutic interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), significantly increased from 2019 to 2023 compared to 2014–2018 (p < 0.05). In contrast, Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) had higher search frequency in the earlier period. These findings suggest a growing public interest in mental health conditions and evidence-based treatment options in recent years.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Limitations of this study include the use of Google Trends data, which relies on RSV rather than absolute search counts, which may not fully capture the extent of public interest. Additionally, the data cannot differentiate whether the searches were made by patients or healthcare professionals. However, the study’s findings reflect a growing recognition and acceptance of diverse treatment approaches for mental health conditions, and concludes that while Google Trends is useful for analyzing public interest in psychiatric illnesses, further research is needed to ensure the reliability of the results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8543,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of psychiatry","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 104482"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143785967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
