![]() ![]() A French study showed nearly half of people with hikikomori had no professional assistance until they received home visit support ( Chauliac et al., 2017). ![]() (2013) indicated that the predominant problem in supporting people with hikikomori was therapeutic access, and that the home visit approach may be a good gateway to solve this problem. The present study concretely described how to establish direct contact with people with hikikomori. (2015) emphasised the need for specialised domiciliary teams to detect and treat hikikomori, since affected individuals referred for treatment at the Crisis Resolution Home in Spain had serious symptoms, were socially impaired and were uncollaborative in treatment. (2020) reported that hikikomori corresponds with low clinic attendance. ![]() Meanwhile, interventions encouraging people with hikikomori to access treatments are also necessary, although Imai et al. Japan has facilitated hikikomori-specific primary consultation services in each prefecture and 12 major cities, and an educational program based on ‘Mental Health First Aid’ and ‘Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT)’ for family members has been shown to improve behaviours and social participation in people with this disorder ( Kubo et al., 2020). (2019) reported that East Asian countries provide various interventions to address hikikomori, including internet addiction programs, pharmacotherapy, home visits and therapies involving psychodynamics, art, animal assistance and family participation. We believe that even people with hikikomori with no comorbid psychiatric disorders require professional support, as they exhibit psychosocial maladjustment symptoms that hinder them from having a normal social life. Additionally, people with hikikomori were more likely to have suicidal risk factors than people without hikikomori in a wide population study in Japan ( Yong & Nomura, 2019). Among patients with major depressive disorder, social withdrawal may have subtle associations with clinical symptoms, social connection and personality traits ( Teo et al., 2020). Japanese college and university students who have longer internet usage times and higher scores on internet and smartphone addiction scales are also at high risk for hikikomori ( Tateno, Teo, Ukai et al., 2019). Hikikomori prevalence is higher among adolescents with internet gaming disorders ( Stavropoulos et al., 2019) and heavy internet and media device use, which is also linked to obesity, distraction, addiction and cyberbullying ( Bozzola et al., 2019). ![]() (2020) suggested that the emergence of the internet is an important contributing factor in the occurrence of hikikomori. Hikikomori is comorbid with various psychiatric conditions, including depression, social anxiety and suicidal behaviours ( Kubo et al., 2020).
