Objectives
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.
Psychoeducation based on psychological treatment, incorporating insights from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
By comparing these two approaches through a randomized controlled trial (RCT), this study aims to clarify the specific impact each type of education has on the perceptions of mental disorders.

Basic objectives -Others
Contrary to the initial hypothesis, a subgroup of participants (estimated n=10) whose negative perceptions of mental disorders did not decrease following the psychoeducation will be selected. We will conduct semi-structured interviews to qualitatively analyze the reasons behind these unexpected results.
