Why stigma and discrimination hinder recovery and social inclusion for people with mental illness...

Click to read a pdf article by me on the issue of stigma and discrimination in mental health. I wrote it for my MSc so I’m afraid it reads pretty academically, but there’s some really interesting facts and research in there, and there’s some excellent books and articles in the references section.

It’s split into discussions of how stigma and discrimination operate in the following settings:

  • Employment
  • Housing
  • Healthcare
  • Criminal Justice System
  • Relationships (including ‘courtesy stigma’)
  • Media
