A Short Note on Psychiatric Illness and Stigma which are Serious Global Concerns

Julianne Pelegrino

Mental disease and disgrace are serious worldwide worries. Psychiatrically ill adolescents are a vulnerable group. The goal of this study was to see how adolescent patients' perceptions of stigma after they were discharged were linked to attitudes toward people with mental illnesses, mental health literacy, and clinical characteristics that were recorded while they were in the hospital. Patient-reported severity of symptoms was associated with perceived secrecy, and psychiatrist-reported less improvement in functioning was associated with perceived personal rejection. During and after their hospital stay, specialized intervention like cognitive behavioral therapy may be beneficial to inpatients whose functioning does not improve significantly.
