详细描述
Introduction 75% of all mental disorders has onset before the age of 24, with pronounced effects extending throughout the lifespan. In recent years, studies showed that young people suffer from an overall poor mental well-being. A recent online community study in Hong Kong by the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Hong Kong shows that traumatic events, post-traumatic stress disorder and depressive symptom levels are significantly higher in young people under the age of 25.
These unparalleled size, nature and complexity of youth mental health problems would leave a huge gap to fill after the Millennium, which would need stratified and timely interventions to improve the mental well-being and mental health of young people in the general population.
As a fundamental component of youth culture in contemporary times, popular culture has intrinsic, spontaneous and interactive relationships with young people, who are at a developmental stage actively undergoing self-formation and socialization. Their relationships can vary widely, ranging from formation of styles and trends, self-regulation, emotion regulation, ideologies and attitudes, grouping and socializing, identification and even deep down to identity.
Among different forms of popular culture, music was said to be the most favoured leisure activity among adolescents. The use of music in engaging young people would be understandably considered to be direct, easy and effective, which should be a prerequisite for offering further help and interventions to improve the mental well-being and mental health of young people.
When it comes to the mental well-being and mental health of young people, the importance of music has been shown in prevention of mental health problems in young people as well as in facilitating those vulnerable young people receiving professional therapeutic supports. In addition, music has the potential to assist in achieving their optimal functioning and well-being.
