These anti-stigma campaigns aim to reduce stigma and raise awareness about mental health. According to the WHO, depression is a common mental disorder that is associated with high rates of suicide. This study aimed to determine the effect of an anti-stigma campaign for depressive disorders on Instagram on students' anxiety attitudes using quantitative method. The presence or absence of feelings of anxiety, nervousness, anxiety, and fear of physical danger when around people with depressive disorders was used to assess anxiety attitudes. The researcher collected data by distributing questionnaires online via Google Form to respondents who met the criteria they set.
