“…However, findings are mixed regarding the impact of public stigma on actual treatment seeking , with the majority of the reports supporting public stigma as a barrier (Aromaa, Tolvanen, Tuulari, & Wahlbeck, 2011; Cooper, Corrigan, & Watson, 2003; Nadeem et al, 2007; Schomerus, Matschinger, & Angermeyer, 2009) whereas contrary findings have also been observed (Jorm et al, 2000; Ng et al, 2008).
