Abstract
Background: Many studies have been carried out in the past that discovered a link between different types of mental health conditions and help-seeking attitudes, but the link between entrapment and attitude towards seeking mental health services remains unknown. Objective: The study is pilot research that aims to fill the research gap by investigating the existence of association between feelings of entrapment and young adults' attitudes toward accessing mental health care. Method: A random sample of young individuals (n=90) in the age range of 18-30 years living in the Delhi NCR area of India were invited to complete the questionnaires to determine their level of entrapment and attitude towards seeking mental health care. Result: It was discovered that the two variables (feelings of entrapment and attitude towards seeking mental health services) have a significant negative relationship (r = -.855). Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is concluded that a high level of entrapment is associated with unfavourable attitudes regarding getting mental health-related services. Based on the findings, recommendations for a broader, more thorough investigation can be conducted.
