Indonesian people's awareness of mental health problems is believed to have continued to increase in recent months. Mental disorders used to be taboo in Indonesia, so many people ignored them. However, it is true that many groups, campaigns, social media conversations and films have emerged that center on mental health. Even though we talk a lot about mental health, it is still considered a stigma for some people. There is an assumption that those with mental health problems are crazy or possessed by demons. Apart from that, many people think that people with mental health disorders lack religious knowledge and are not close to God, even though mental disorders are brain diseases.
