摘要

尽管尼日利亚青年中精神疾病的发病率很高，但这一人群获得和使用精神保健服务的机会极低。本综述审查了尼日利亚新生成人对精神卫生问题和服务的认识和看法。具体而言，我们(1)提供有关尼日利亚心理健康认知、服务和挑战的背景信息;(2)描述尼日利亚新兴成年人口的心理健康现状;(3)探讨尼日利亚新兴成人的危险因素;(4)记录尼日利亚新兴成人对心理健康问题和服务的看法，以及对这一趋势的可能解释。最后，我们将讨论实践和政策。在尼日利亚这样的国家，精神卫生服务稀缺，卫生差距和差距比比皆是，意识到精神卫生和现实的卫生政策的价值怎么强调都不为过。

Emerging Adults’ Awareness and Perceptions of Mental Health Problems and Services in Nigeria

Despite the high prevalence of psychiatric disorders among Nigerian youths, mental health care access and usage in this population is extremely low. This review examines emerging adults’ awareness and perceptions of mental health problems and services in Nigeria. Specifically, we (1) provide background information about mental health perception, services, and challenges in Nigeria; (2) describe the current state of mental health among emerging adult population in Nigeria; (3) discuss risk factors among emerging adults in Nigeria; (4) document emerging adults’ perception of mental health problems and services in Nigeria, and potential explanations for this trend. We conclude with a discussion of practices and policies. In a nation like Nigeria, where mental health services are scarce and health gaps and disparities abound, the value of mental health awareness and realistic health policies cannot be overstated.
