Depression, anxiety, conduct issues and hyperactive disorder account for 13% of the global burden of disease that affects one in seven adolescents. In Kenya, not much is documented about the mental health of non-school-going adolescents, and yet they make up about 1.8\u00a0million of the country\u2019s population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>An ethnographic study by Focus Group Discussions with 32 rural northern Kenya Turkana-based adolescents divided into school and nonschool groups was conducted. We read out vignettes in which the main character exhibited symptoms of depression, schizophrenia or anxiety and explored their knowledge of causes and management options for the same, and then analyzed the data thematically.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Participants described the conditions without referring to the local names we had collected earlier: depression (\n                    <jats:italic>Akiyalolong<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), schizophrenia (\n                    <jats:italic>waarit\/Ngikerep<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) and anxiety (\n                    <jats:italic>Ngatameta naaronok<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). They assigned curses, guilt, hunger pangs, and evil spells as causes, and believed friends and age-mates, parents, teachers, and the local chief, among others, could help, but rarely medical intervention. Interventions to improve the adolescent\u2019s knowledge of mental illness are a much-needed support for the health of young people.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/gmh.2023.25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,13]],"date-time":"2023-06-13T03:40:20Z","timestamp":1686627620000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Mental health literacy: Perspectives from Northern Kenya Turkana adolescents"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0846-3977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pamela","family":"Wadende","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tholene","family":"Sodi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2054425123000250_r7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3402\/qhw.v9.26152"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12144-017-9581-0"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r23","volume-title":"Focus Groups: A Practical Guide for Applied Research","author":"Krueger","year":"2009"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1332\/0305573022501601"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ebmental-2018-300060"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0142159X.2018.1497149"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(11)60827-1"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r31","volume-title":"Probing Behaviour in Open Interviews: A Field Experiment on the Effects of Probing Tactics on Quality and Content of the Received Information","author":"Moerman","year":"2014"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1363461516679322"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r46","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12888-022-03781-x"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1468794112439003"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r36","volume-title":"Into Africa: Intercultural Insights","author":"Richmond","year":"1998"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r25","volume-title":"Africanity: The Cultural Unity of Black Africa","author":"Maquet","year":"1972"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r38","first-page":"65","article-title":"The Scientific or magical ways of knowing: Implications for the study of African traditional healers","volume":"7","author":"Sanda","year":"1978","journal-title":"Second Order: Journal of Philosophy"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r43","volume-title":"Adolescent Mental Health","year":"2021"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1468794109356737"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0021853700035970"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r42","volume-title":"Mental Health Action Plan 2013\u20132020","year":"2013"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r3","volume-title":"DSM-5 Task Force","year":"2013"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rasd.2019.02.005"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r45","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08897077.2010.495313"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13033-020-00356-9"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-200012150-00014"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cegh.2020.03.028"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r39","first-page":"251","article-title":"Culture, politics and global mental health","volume":"1","author":"Tribe","year":"2014","journal-title":"Disability and the Global South"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13645570050178594"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r44","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1744-859X-8-1"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r21","unstructured":"KNBS (2014) Economic Survey. http:\/\/www.knb.or.ke"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13063-021-05736-1"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r15","unstructured":"Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (2019) Increase in Global Burden of disease. https:\/\/www.healthdata.org\/gbd\/2019"},{"key":"S2054425123000250_r30","first-page":"188","article-title":"Globalising mental health or pathologising the Global South?
