Aims: We aimed to investigate the effects of anti-stigma-focused lecture to improve recognition of depression and attitudes toward its treatments among medical and non-medical university students. Method: Subjects were the first-year non-medical (X1: n=193) and medical (M1: n=203) undergraduates and the fourth-year medical students (M4: n=160). Only the M4 group had been previously exposed to medical lectures on depressive disorders. A questionnaire consisting of 8 items for common misconception about depression and 10 items for attitudes toward its treatments was administered to each subject before and after the educational lecture, which were evaluated by 5-scale steps. Results: Most recognitions were significantly improved within each group after the lecture. The M4 group had lesser stigmas than the X1 or M1 group on baseline scores of fear, lack of knowledge, self-manageable disease, approaches to depressed others and several medication-associated items, while additional superiority in recognition became apparent in the items of weakness and perfect self-awareness after the lecture. Medical students (M1 and M4) showed less stigma than the X1 group in burden to others and self-manageable disease before the lecture, and on over-expectation to counseling and most of medication-associated items after the lecture. Conclusion: Superiority in recognition in the M4 group can be explained by the previously acquired medical knowledge and its synergic effects with the anti-stigma-focused lecture. Impact of enlightening effects differed between medical and non-medical students probably due to the difference in motivation to acquire medical-model thinking and approaches to depression.
