“…In the present study, 76.5% of mothers were part-time workers or full-time housewives; thus, family income depended primarily on fathers. Maternal occupation was not significantly associated with social distance, which differs from the results of Lysaker et al [5]. Put another way, the present results show that maternal social status was not associated with attitudes toward schizophrenia.…”

Negative maternal attitudes toward schizophrenia may be linked with delayed treatment of their children. We investigated the relation between negative attitudes toward schizophrenia and help-seeking among mothers of junior and senior high school students in Japan. The participants were 1309 Japanese mothers of junior and senior high school students. Social distance was evaluated by using the Social Distance Scale-Japanese version (SDS-J). In addition, mothers were asked about help-seeking for a child with sleeplessness, social withdrawal, and strange behavior. One-way analysis of variance and Student's t-test were used to evaluate associations between social distance toward schizophrenia and help-seeking. Most (76.4%) participants were aged 40 -49 years. Maternal demographic characteristics significantly associated with social distance were employment and participation in welfare activities for people with mental illness. In responding to a child with sleeplessness, social withdrawal, and strange behavior, the level of maternal social distance was not significantly associated with the likelyhood of seeking psychiatric help. However, mothers with greater social distance were less likely to seek help at a psychiatric clinic. Maternal social distance toward schizophrenia was not significantly associated with seeking psychiatric help; however, it did affect the type of facility selected among those would seek such help.

“…Thus, internalised stigma undermines the possibility that insight will lead to good outcome. 17 Similarly, in a recent cluster analysis of 75 people with schizophrenia, Lysaker and colleagues 18 found that individuals who demonstrated high levels of insight and low levels of internalised stigma demonstrated the highest functioning, but those with high insight and high internalised stigma experienced the lowest levels of hope and self-esteem. The 15-year naturalistic follow-up study of people with schizophrenia by Harrow & Jobe, cited earlier, provides further evidence that empowerment is an aid to recovery.…”

“…Different studies across the world correlating stigma with socio-demographic variables have found contrasting results. In these studies, self stigma was significantly associated with age and male gender (17) whereas some suggest lack of association with being married, living alone, and education (38)(39)(40). In addition, in a study by Rohit Garg et al, significantly higher stigma scores were reported in younger patients than older patients.…”

Background: Self-stigma severely affects individuals suffering from psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) as well as act as a barrier to recovery process. Objectives: To assess the self-stigma prevalence among schizophrenia and ADS patients; to compare the socio-demographic and clinical variables between schizophrenia and ADS patients with self-stigma; to identify the risk factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study performed on 100 patients, 50 patients with ADS and 50 patients with schizophrenia. A semistructured data and internalized stigma of mental illness Scale (ISMIS) to assess self-stigma were administered. Results: Prevalence of self-stigma was more in ADS (66%) than that in schizophrenia (50%). The stigma in schizophrenia was significantly associated with unmarried and divorced; education above 12th standard; those who belonged to joint family, and urban region (P < 0.05) while in ADS, it was associated with education above 12th standard (P < 0.05). Only gender among the sociodemographic correlates was significantly different between schizophrenia and ADS patients with self stigma (P < 0.05). The locality and education status were found to be strong predictors of stigma. Conclusions: Self stigma is more prevalent in ADS as compared to schizophrenia and it is a significant problem in both. Therefore, there is a need to take specific interventions to improve overall quality of life and reduce stigma.
