unbrokencircle asked: Do you know some good academic articles on mental health stigma? I've been trying to find my "in" into the literature for a while now but I haven't been very successful, in my experience all it takes is finding the right set of articles and then from the citations you can get to everything else.

I wrote an essay on stigma and discrimination of mental illness during my postgrad. Below are the citations for all the articles and books I read to helpme out on this. Good luck!
