This article evaluates how negative attitudes toward mental illness and treatment are attributed to a lack of or inaccurate mental health knowledge. We aimed to evaluate the present mental health awareness and knowledge among Bangladeshi university scholars and acknowledge the socio-demographic dynamics that influence them. From February to April 2021, cross-sectional research of 2036 university scholars in Bangladesh was carried out. The study established two dissimilar questionnaires to evaluate mental health knowledge and awareness. The two result variables in this research were mental health knowledge and awareness levels. Data analysis was done using diverse descriptive statistical equipment and a double logistic regression model. Though mental health awareness is high amongst Bangladeshi university scholars, mental health knowledge is inadequate. As an outcome, it is vital to understand the gaps in awareness and knowledge of mental health illnesses and how they are solved.

The tenacious and incapacitating nature of psychiatric stigma has directed the creation of worldwide programs to encounter the undesirable typecasts and discriminatory replies that produce social incapacity, but these creativities are hardly assessed. This study associates the efficiency of school-based involvements with youth aged 14-16 designed to grow mental health literacy as well as challenging negative typecasts related to severe mental disorders in places in the UK and Canada. Both nations provided short learning periods comprising a facilitator with direct knowledge of mental sickness. Scholars in Canada at baseline (N=1501) were meaningfully more aware than those in the UK (N=635) that schizophrenia is not a divided character, that mental disease is prevalent, and that it is a myth that persons with schizophrenia are any more probable to be fierce than affiliates of the overall population. The UK and Canada programs had a promising influence on scholars’ factual memory and informed approaches at first follow-up. The collective number of scholars articulating no social distance across four key objects developed over time in Canada (N=634) and the UK (N=512). Thus, this study displays that short learning workshops can create optimistic change in youth opinions of mental sickness.
