This study addresses the global underestimation of adolescent depression by redefining its scientific communication through innovative information visual design. Critiquing conventional text-heavy approaches, the research integrates artistic practice and data-driven methodologies to develop youth-centric visual strategies. Key contributions include minimalist illustrations, high-saturation color schemes, and spatially hierarchical layouts that enhance cognitive engagement while conveying emotional nuance. Iterative design practices—such as self-assessment infographics and culturally resonant derivatives (e.g., pendants, badges)—demonstrate how visual narratives can reduce stigma and foster mental health literacy. By merging aesthetic rigor with scientific accuracy, the work establishes a framework for cross-disciplinary collaboration, emphasizing art’s capacity to transcend linguistic barriers and reshape societal responses to adolescent psychological distress. The findings advocate for scalable, inclusive design solutions that prioritize adolescent agency in mental health advocacy.
