Recent data collected from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS) found that Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (2095 respondents) have a 17.30 percent overall lifetime rate of any psychiatric disorder and a 9.19 percent 12-month rate, yet AAPIs are three times less likely to seek mental health services than Caucasians.
According to the study there are three main causes for mental health issues among Asian American youth: parental pressure to succeed in academics, cultural stigma against discussing mental health issues which leads to tendencies to avoid approaching the subject or to neglect their symptoms, and discrimination/bullying due to racial or cultural background.
According to the study, many psychiatric disorders result from bullying in classrooms and the cyber world: over half of AAPI students who report being bullied say it occurs in the classroom, and 62 percent report being cyberbullied.
Among the types of bullying, more AAPI students (11 percent) reported being frequently targeted with race-related hate speech than was reported by Caucasian students (3 percent). Among AAPI students, immigrant and 2nd generation students were more likely to be victimized than 3rd or later generation students. Data on nearly 750 AAPI middle and high school students from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health suggest that 17 percent reported being violently victimized (e.g., had a gun/knife pulled on her/him, stabbed, cut or jumped) at least once in the past year (2019), according to American Psychological Association.
It appears the expert ignored the weaknesses of Chinese culture. It’s far important to put more emphasis on educating our younger generation to prepare themselves fight back hate mentally and physically.
