Stigma and Discrimination of Persons Diagnosed with Psychosis as an Obstacle to Recovery

Slađana Štrkalj Ivezić

Sažetak

The stigma of mental disorders comes with a whole set of negative features for the recovery of those diagnosed with psychosis, and often poses a greater problem than the disease itself. Research confirms that all social groups, including those providing treatment, also share the stigma, especially with regards to recovery, which results in an increased risk of self-stigmatization, excessive use of pharmacotherapy, neglect of psychosocial methods, and unsatisfactory services for social inclusion in the community. The aim of this work is to show the negative aspects of stigma and how to prevent it in society and in everyday psychiatric practice. Its aim is to encourage implementation of programs to battle stigma and discrimination at a national level, especially in mental health services, and prevent self-stigmatization by nurturing a therapeutic culture of recovery and counteract self-stigmatization.
