Podcast Episode: The Biggest Misconceptions About Mental Illness
Stigma against mental illness involves labeling, stereotyping, and rejecting people diagnosed with mental illness. The public stigma against mental illness represents the discrimination directed at people suffering from mental illness by the larger population or the community.
Self-stigma occurs when people diagnosed with mental illness believe that they are less valued because of their mental illness. The stigma against mental illness may lead to social exclusion of people with mental illness and affect patients’ willingness to seek mental health care. Culture-specific perceptions were viewed as affecting both the patients living with mental illness and people living in the community.
Cultural factors often influence beliefs about the cause and treatment of mental illness and shape the public attitudes toward people diagnosed with mental illness. Addressing the cultural beliefs associated with stigma against mental illness is of special importance in Cambodia.
We are honored to welcome So Monyrak, a licensed psychiatrist who is currently working at svay rieng provincial hospital. So Monyrak, helps us understand the misconceptions around mental illness and provides helpful advice on treatments and more.
