According to a survey that took place in Mexico in 2021, around seven in every ten interviewees had not sought out mental health treatment because they considered their symptoms as not serious, or as normal. Other reasons for not seeking care included the costs of mental health treatments, shame, and fear, as stated by respondents. For those taking part in the same survey who sought out and received treatment, over 40 percent were treated with medications.
