1. Introduction
Mental disorders are a leading contributor to the burden of disease for adolescents globally
(Patton et al., 2016). Poor mental health has significant implications for adolescent
development and social role transitions, and is a determinant of risky substance use, early
pregnancy and school disengagement (WHO, 2017). Adolescent mental health also predicts
future adult health, and the health of the next generation (Patton et al., 2018). Yet despite this,
investments in adolescent mental health have been minimal (Li et al., 2018). One reason may
be the poor coverage and quality of mental health data (including qualitative data) for
adolescents, critical to informing priority areas for action (Erskine et al., 2017). Mental health
data are most lacking in resource constrained settings where the majority of the world’s
adolescents live.

How adolescents conceptualise mental health is central to understanding their mental health
needs, but also to framing interventions that are responsive to them (Armstrong et al., 2000;
Backett-Milburn et al., 2003). For example, adolescents may not recognise or articulate the
measures (Azzopardi et al., 2020) and framing community and health-system responses
(World Health Organization, 2016). Perceived determinants are also important. For example,
a qualitative study of Indonesian adults with unmet mental health needs identified
accessing health services (Marthoenis et al., 2016). Stigma and other negative implications of
diagnosis are also determinants of health action; in some parts of Indonesia in the recent past,
people experiencing severe mental illness were physically restrained or confined (Minas and
Diatri, 2008).

lP
The conceptualisation of mental health by young people in this study is quite distinct from
adolescents in high income settings. A study of Swedish young people identified mental
na
health as an emotional experience that was part of the human condition (Johansson et al.,
2007). A study of adolescents from the UK found mental health to embody different
emotions, thoughts and behaviours, with these young people articulating a ‘continuum of
ur
difficulties’ that ranged from minor worries or concerns to more severe distress (Roose et al.,
Jo
2003). Adolescents in the UK also defined mental health problems to be ‘really hard to see’,
quite distinct from this study where participants felt it was possible to identify mental illness
important, as it suggests that measures or initiatives developed for adolescents in high income
reported in observational studies. These include: low self-esteem (Kaur et al., 2014), bullying
and social isolation (Arseneault et al., 2009; Lereya et al., 2015; Ott et al., 2011), family
separation and poor attachment (Johansson et al., 2007; Otsuka et al., 2020; Ott et al., 2011;
Wille et al., 2008), and academic stress (Kwak and Ickovics, 2019; Nguyen et al., 2013).
There were, however, some important concepts to emerge from the perspective of young
people that may help focus the target of preventative interventions. The first was the

people suggesting that communication with parents and a sense of connection were protective
of mental health. The second related to school pressures, which extended beyond pressure to

perform, and included the school environment, curriculum and teaching style. Bullying
An additional key determinant was religion and spirituality. Indonesia is a majority Islam
country, and there is a large body of research highlighting the positive impacts of religion and
spirituality on mental health (Hovey et al., 2014; Regnerus, 2003; Weber and Pargament,
na
2014). An Indonesian study of adolescents found that engagement with prayer and fasting
was protective against depressive symptoms (Purwono and French, 2016), with a global

emerged (for example, Jakarta-based adolescents were more likely to use medical
terminology around conceptualisation of mental health), overall the samples were remarkably

people to explore mental health and its determinants in their own words. The visual-
