49例自杀病例是从151例连续青年自杀死亡的原始样本中抽取的。我们使用了270次与父母和其他幸存者的访谈信息，以评估死者寻求的心理健康治疗以及心理健康治疗的障碍。参与者报告了死者面临的相同的主要障碍：认为没有什么可以帮助，寻求帮助是软弱或失败的标志，不愿承认有心理健康问题，否认问题，太尴尬而不愿寻求帮助。这表明，精神疾病的耻辱感是心理健康治疗的一个相当大的障碍。
Forty-nine suicide cases were drawn from an original sample of 151 consecutive youth suicide deaths. We used information from 270 interviews with parents and other survivors to evaluate mental health treatment sought for and by the decedent and barriers to mental health treatment. Participants reported the same primary barriers for the decedent: belief that nothing could help, seeking help is a sign of weakness or failure, reluctance to admit to having mental health problems, denial of problems, and too embarrassed to seek help. It is suggested that the stigma of mental illness is a considerable barrier to mental health treatment.
