Narrative objectives1 - The objective of this study is to examine how two types of psychoeducation regarding mental disorders, specifically depression and anxiety, influence the perceptions of university students aged 18 to 65. The psychoeducational interventions consist of the following two approaches:
Psychoeducation based on biomedical treatment, covering biological mechanisms and the potential for recovery through medical intervention.
