Job-search self-efficacy in unemployed individuals with mental health issues
Unemployed individuals with mental health issues frequently struggle to find re-employment. The relevance of self-stigma, that is, applying public stigma toward mental health issues to oneself, has been under-researched in this context, but might provide valuable insights into why finding re-employment is particularly challenging for these individuals. Drawing on the “why try” effect of self-stigma and the conservation of resources theory, we exa…
The role of health care professionals’ stigmatizing beliefs in endorsing coercion toward individuals with alcohol use disorders in China
Overlap and differences between internalised stigma and depression
Two common consequences among persons with a physical health condition are internalised stigma associated with the physical illness and depression. Increased awareness and knowledge of both concepts might help professionals to better diagnose and deploy interventions that best suit the needs of people who experience these phenomena. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate to what extent and how internalised stigma and depression overlap. A Del…
Cultural adaptation process of six stigma assessment scales among Kannada speaking population in South India
For several years stigma researchers in India have relied on Western instruments or semi-structured stigma scales in their studies. However, these scales have not been rigorously translated and adapted to the local cultural framework. In the current study, we describe the cultural adaptation of six stigma scales with the purpose of using it in the native language (Kannada) based on translation steps of forward translation, expert review and synth…

Yet, unemployed people with mental health problems often do not seek care. AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess predictors of help-seeking among unemployed people with mental health problems. METHODS: At baseline, 301 unemployed participants with mental health problems reported pot…
Efficacy of a peer-led group program for unemployed people with mental health problems
BACKGROUND: People with long-term unemployment and mental health problems often find it difficult to take active steps toward help-seeking and job search and to navigate the complex system of available services. Likewise, job center staff would welcome interventions to improve the reintegration of long-term unemployed individuals with mental health problems into the labor market. AIM: To examine the efficacy of a peer-led group program that suppo…

Outcomes: Mental healt…
Predicting Medical Students’ Current Attitudes Toward Psychiatry, Interest in Psychiatry, and Estimated Likelihood of Working in Psychiatry
Psychiatry as a medical discipline is becoming increasingly important due to the high and increasing worldwide burden associated with mental disorders. Surprisingly, however, there is a lack of young academics choosing psychiatry as a career. Previous evidence on medical students' perspectives is abundant but has methodological shortcomings. Therefore, by attempting to avoid previous shortcomings, we aimed to contribute to a better understanding …
Placement Budgets” for Supported Employment—Impact on Quality of Life in a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Employment is an important aspect of psychiatric rehabilitation. The objective of this analysis was to explore how quality of life (QoL) may affect the outcome of supported employment and vice versa. Methods: A total of 116 participants with severe mental disorders were randomly assigned to either 25h, 40h or 55h placement budgets, which comprises job coaches’ time resources to support a client in finding a job. The intervention follo…
Stigma and suicidality among suicide attempt survivors
Among people with mental illness, stigma experiences can increase suicidality, and suicidality itself is associated with negative stereotypes. Suicide attempt survivors experience both mental illness stigma and suicide stigma, which could contribute to their increased risk for completed suicide. We interviewed 13 suicide attempt survivors regarding experiences and consequences of stigma and identified five stigma-related themes. Stigma led to sub…
What is the impact of self-stigma? Loss of self-respect and the “why try” effect
BACKGROUND: The "Why Try" phenomenon, a consequence of self-stigma, is a sense of futility that occurs when people believe they are unworthy or incapable of achieving personal goals because they apply the stereotypes of mental illness to themselves. AIMS: This study examines a four-stage model of self-stigma (aware, agree, apply, and self-stigma harm) and examines the "why try" effect as a result. We do that by testing a measure of "why try." MET…
Mental Health Literacy, Attitudes to Help Seeking, and Perceived Need as Predictors of Mental Health Service Use
Many people with mental health problems do not use mental health care, resulting in poorer clinical and social outcomes. Reasons for low service use rates are still incompletely understood. In this longitudinal, population-based study, we investigated the influence of mental health literacy, attitudes toward mental health services, and perceived need for treatment at baseline on actual service use during a 6-month follow-up period, controlling fo…
Personal suffering and social criticism in T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land and A. Ginsberg’s Howl
BACKGROUND: T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land and A. Ginsberg's Howl are two landmark poems of the 20th century which have a unique way of dealing with emotional suffering. AIMS: (a) To explore the interplay between emotional suffering, conflicting relationships and societal perceptions; (b) to show the therapeutic effect of the writing process; (c) to analyse the portrayal of 'madness'; and (d) to discuss, in contemporary psychiatric terms, the 'solu…
What is the impact of mental health-related stigma on help-seeking? A systematic review of quantitative and qualitative studies
Background Individuals often avoid or delay seeking professional help for mental health problems. Stigma may be a key deterrent to help-seeking but this has not been reviewed systematically. Our systematic review addressed the overarching question: What is the impact of mental health-related stigma on help-seeking for mental health problems? Subquestions were: ( a ) What is the size and direction of any association between stigma and help-seeking…
Reducing Self-Stigma by Coming Out Proud
Self-stigma has a pernicious effect on the lives of people with mental illness. Although a medical perspective might discourage patients from identifying with their illness, public disclosure may promote empowerment and reduce self-stigma. We reviewed the extensive research that supports this assertion and assessed a program that might diminish stigma’s effect by helping some people to disclose to colleagues, neighbors, and others their experienc…
Challenging the Public Stigma of Mental Illness
Mass social contact interventions and their effect on mental health related stigma and intended discrimination
Findings emphasise the importance of facilitating conditions to promote positive social contact between individuals and also suggest that social contact interventions can work on a mass level. Future research should investigate this type of large scale intervention among broader and more representative populations

The Impact of Self-Stigma and Mutual Help Programs on the Quality of Life of People with Serious Mental Illnesses
Self‐stigma and coming out about one's mental illness
Self‐stigma can undermine self‐esteem and self‐efficacy of people with serious mental illness. Coming out may be one way of handling self‐stigma and it was expected that coming out would mediate the effects of self‐stigma on quality of life. This study compares coming out to other approaches of controlling self‐stigma. Eighty‐five people with serious mental illness completed measures of coming out (called the Coming Out with Mental Illness Scale,…
Changing Stigmatizing Perceptions and Recollections About Mental Illness
Self‐stigma and the “why try” effect
Social inclusion, recovery, and community reintegration have been interchangeably touted as the main principles of the mental health system in the new millennium 1,2,3,4. Common to these ideas is accomplishing self-determined goals that enhance one's sense of well being. These kinds of goals are defined in the here and now, and are framed in terms of real interests of all adults, those with as well as without disabilities. Relevant domains includ…

Changing Stigmatizing Perceptions and Recollections About Mental Illness
Mental illness stigma
Persons with mental illness frequently encounter public stigma and may suffer from self-stigma. This review aims to clarify the concept of mental illness stigma and discuss consequences for individuals with mental illness. After a conceptual overview of stigma we discuss two leading concepts of mental illness stigma and consequences of stigma, focussing on self-stigma/empowerment and fear of stigma as a barrier to using health services. Finally, …
