What is mental health?
“The World Health Organization defines mental health as not just the absence of mental disorders,
but it is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential,
can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a
contribution to his or her community.”
“The Surgeon General says that mental health is essential to health and productivity.”

“Regardless of age, gender or the specific
Asian group they belong to, Asian Americans tend
to underutilize these services.”
- Dr. Stanley Sue, a psychology professor at UC Davis and one of the authors of a January study -- financed by the National Institute of Mental Health -- on immigrants' use of mental
health services.
![Page 29: Community Dialogue Goals & Objectives](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/568147e4550346895db51b2c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
“We found that the prevalence of mental service use among Asian
populations was lower than that in the white participants. Among Asian participants, the Chinese participants were less likely to
have used mental health service than other Asian groups.”

Canada from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology Journal

In the Chinese American Psychiatric Epidemiological Study (CAPES), participants with
and without mental disorders indicated whether or not they had sought help for problems with emotions, anxiety, drugs, alcohol, or mental
health in the past six months.
Only 17% of people experiencing problems sought care.
Less than 6% of those who did seek care saw a mental health professional; 4% saw a medical
doctor; and 8% saw a minister or priest.http://mentalhealth.samhsa.gov/cre/ch5_availability.asp

“The majority of Asian Americans with mental health disorders did not
use specialty mental health services.”

Americans.”

Asian and Pacific Islanders (A&PIs) have the lowest rates of utilization of mental health services among
all ethnic populations, according to the U.S. Surgeon General's 2001 Report on Mental Health.
Research indicates that A&PIs dramatically under-utilize mental health services -- at both the
national and local levels. According to researchers, this under-utilization does not mean that A&PI
communities have fewer mental health problems. Rather, it points to specific barriers to access and
use of mental health services.

Asian-Americans and Model Minority Myth
The model minority myth derives from the perception that Asian cultural values of hard work,
family cohesion, self-sufficiency and a drive for success propelled recent immigrants into and
beyond the American middle class within a generation or two.
