Abstract:
Mental health stigma is an important topic as it has an influence on the care clients receive, as well as resources allocated by society. Previous research has primarily investigated the topic of stigma associated with schizophrenia and various factors that may influence the endorsement of stigmatizing beliefs. Few studies have investigated whether the type of mental disorder has an influence on the level of stigma. The current study evaluated the difference in the level of stereotypes endorsed across three conditions: schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and a typical person. Additionall

Abstract:
Over half of all lifetime mental disorders have their origin in childhood and adolescence, yet many adolescents fail to receive adequate mental health support. Two factors which present barriers to seeking help for mental illness are stigma and a lack of knowledge. Within adult literature, contact with individuals who experience living with a mental illness (intergroup contact) has been successful in improving these. 1109 adolescents took part in a survey which investigated stigma, knowledge, and mental health. Group interviews were conducted to develop an understanding of how adolescents conc

Perinatal mental illness is a global health issue with detrimental outcomes for women and their families if left untreated. Unfortunately, many women do not get the treatment they need for many reasons, one often acknowledged reason is that the stigma some women experience inhibits disclosure of their needs to healthcare providers.

Section A is a systematic review of the literature surrounding school-based interventions to address the stigma faced by people diagnosed with mental health problems. It asks the question of what the role of these interventions currently and potentially is and what is important for their efficacy. It begins by acknowledging the problem that stigma and discrimination presents, identifying what leads to and perpetuates this stigma. It then presents key theoretical and empirical contributions to our understanding of stigma and also to our understanding of how learning develops and attitudes form.

The profession of law enforcement is an inherently stressful job. Although the physical stress of the job is often discussed, the mental health impact on officers is often ignored, resulting in poor mental health and increased risk for suicide. The purpose of the current study was to investigate factors related to the reluctance of law enforcement officers (LEOs) to seeking treatment, as well as to gain an understanding of the prevalence rates of disorders in a law enforcement population. Convenience sampling was used to recruit participants (N = 306) across a variety of agencies. Correlation,

Abstract:
The global refugee crisis worsens day-by-day, with millions of refugees forced to seek safe haven abroad. Pre-migration trauma exposure contributes to disproportionately higher rates of psychopathology, especially among torture survivors and women. The extant literature has largely focused on the effects of pre-migration factors; however, increasingly, researchers recognize the critical impact of post-migration living difficulties (PMLD) in exacerbating refugee mental health. One example of a PMLD is stigma, defined as a socially devalued attribute (e.g., minority race, ethnicity, sex). A robu

Abstract:
The central theme in The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane is the experience of living with a mental illness and the suffering that it can bring to one’s life. In these two texts the writers openly talk about their pain and their thoughts, which are undoubtedly affected by their diseases, but still depend on their personal way of dealing with them. In this thesis, expressions of mental illnesses in Sylvia Plath and Sarah Kane will be discussed in connection to the long-existing mental health stigma which does not see patients as people with a problem, but as dangerous,

Abstract:
Premenstruellt syndrom (PMS) och menstruation är stigmatiserade ämnen. Det kan ge kvinnor bristande självkänsla och hjälper till att upprätthålla den negativa tonen i diskussionen vilket gör att de kan vara svårt eller till och med tabu att prata om. Stigma från våra närstående kan bidra till ökad självstigmatisering. Studiens syfte var att undersöka vilka samband det finns mellan PMS, självstigmatisering, uppfattat stigma och ålderns interaktionseffekt på dessa. Även hur kvinnor talat och talar om PMS undersöktes. Studien utfördes på 88 kvinnor i fertil ålder som besvarade en enkät som innefa

Abstract:
This research addressed the social othering and positioning of mental health consumers in Australian society. Using a critical lens, the study explored the accounts of nurses caring for mental health consumers in intensive care. Interpretations of the accounts of interactions between nurses and consumers in this context brought focus to the ways in which nurses exercise legitimated power and privilege. It is hoped that the research will prompt critical reflection on the inherent structural power inequities in healthcare facilities and that political awareness of oppression and disenfranchiseme

Abstract:
<p> Mental health stigma, while common, leads to harmful consequences. There is some evidence to show that education reduces stigma. The reduction, however, is short term and only observed in those who are relatively open and flexible with their beliefs. Emerging research suggests that variables such as empathy, perspective taking, and psychological flexibility may be key processes in stigma reduction. Relational Frame Theory (RFT) provides a framework for understanding the development of stigma, the role of inflexibility in maintenance of stigma, and how education that targets flexibility mig
