Abstract

Conclusions: This study emphasises the complex interplay between stigma, resilience and systemic barriers in the mental health journeys of young Nigerians. Findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive interventions, family-focused psychoeducation, youth-specific services and community-integrated approaches to reduce stigma and enhance care. These insights provide actionable recommendations for improving mental health systems in resource-limited settings.
