Mental health stigma refers to negative attitudes or misconceptions about mental disorders that label people with mental illnesses as dangerous, incompetent, or unfit for work or relationships. Common misperceptions are that those with mental illnesses are violent and that all people with mental illnesses are the same. The effects of stigma include social isolation, discouragement from seeking help, public stigma and self-stigma, discrimination in the workplace and community, and hindering recovery. Stigma is reinforced through media portrayals, public attitudes and stereotypes, and discriminatory language in communities.

STIGMA OF MENTAL HEALTH
Mental health stigma can be divided into two distinct types: social stigma is characterized by prejudicial attitudes and discriminating behaviour directed towards individuals with mental health problems as a result of the psychiatric label they have been given. In contrast, perceived stigma or self-stigma is the internalizing by the mental health sufferer of their perceptions of discrimination (Link, Cullen, Struening & Shrout, 1989), and perceived stigma can significantly affect feelings of shame and lead to poorer treatment outcomes (Perlick, Rosenheck, Clarkin, Sirey et al., 2001).
Self-Stigma
The document is a presentation by the Client Empowerment Council on self-stigma. It defines stigma and self-stigma, and discusses how self-stigma can involve negative thoughts like feeling worthless. Members of the Client Empowerment Council then share their personal experiences with mental illness and self-stigma, and how getting involved in volunteering, education, and helping others has helped them combat self-stigma. The presentation concludes with a question and answer session.

Stigma and Mental Illness – A Barrier to Health Seeking
What Is Stigma
This document discusses stigma surrounding mental illness. It begins by defining stigma and noting that while physical illnesses are generally accepted, mental illnesses often face stigma due to lack of understanding. People are misinformed about mental illness due to insufficient education and myths. This stigma leads to discrimination and prevents stigma from being removed. The document then poses trivia questions to test knowledge about conditions like depression and suicide rates. It reveals answers like 15-20% of people having depression and suicide being more common in summer. Additional facts provided emphasize depression is highly treatable but often untreated, and more action is needed to educate about mental illness and reduce stigma.
Reducing Stigma for the Stigmatized and Stigma Supporters
This document discusses stigma, how it affects those with mental illnesses and other conditions, and ways to reduce stigma. Stigma is defined as a mark of disgrace associated with a circumstance or person. Stigma is important because those with mental illnesses often experience it multiple times during their illness. Stigma affects those with conditions like mental illness, HIV, AIDS and others. It can be supported through stereotyping, alienating, or negatively labeling people. Self-stigma occurs when people feel ashamed or embarrassed of their diagnosis. Ways to prevent stigma include educating yourself and others, sharing stories to inform and inspire, and standing up against stereotyping.

Mental
An estimated 46.6 million Americans suffer from some form of mental illness. However, mental health stigma persists and views mental illness as a sign of weakness. This stigma creates stereotypes that people with mental illnesses are unpredictable, dangerous, or contagious. In reality, these stereotypes are incorrect and harmful. The stigma also leads to discrimination that denies people with mental illness basic rights and healthcare. To reduce stigma, people need to educate themselves on mental illness in order to avoid ignorance, stereotypes, and contributing to discrimination.
Dependent & Histrionic Personality Disorders
Dependent Personality Disorder is characterized by a fear of abandonment and a need for excessive approval seeking. Those with Dependent Personality Disorder have difficulty making their own decisions and allowing others to control many aspects of their lives. They often avoid conflicts due to a fear of losing important relationships. Histrionic Personality Disorder is characterized by overly dramatic or emotionally expressive behavior designed to draw attention. Those with Histrionic Personality Disorder often embellish stories or exaggerate problems to gain attention and approval from others. They have superficial relationships and are easily influenced by others. Both personality disorders can be challenging to diagnose due to overlap of traits and the need to consider cultural and social contexts.
Stigma Presentation
Mental illnesses like schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder are legitimate medical conditions, not character flaws. They are caused by genetic and biological factors and can be effectively treated. However, stigma and lack of understanding prevent many from seeking help. Myths that those with mental illnesses are dangerous or that conditions like depression are simply weakness perpetuate social stigma. In reality, around 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in their lifetime, and conditions like depression result in significant economic costs due to lost productivity. Increased education is needed to reduce the stigma around mental illnesses.

Stigmatization of Mental Illness
The document discusses several myths and facts related to mental health. It notes that mental health problems are very common, affecting 1 in 5 American adults and half of children by age 14. However, less than 20% of children with mental health issues receive treatment. Additionally, the vast majority of people with mental illness are not violent. The document aims to dispel several common myths and promote understanding of mental health issues.

It argues that growing up in high-crime, low-income communities can expose children to trauma and negatively impact their development, behavior, and academic performance due to a lack of resources and support systems. The author believes more research is needed on PTSD within impoverished communities and that psychological evaluations and outreach programs could help identify and treat undiagnosed cases, especially for children living in generational poverty.

Bullying and peer pressure
The document discusses mental disorders and their relationship to suicide. It notes that mental disorders like depression and bipolar disorder can cause the brain to function abnormally and result in suicidal thoughts. Many teens with mental disorders feel like outcasts in society and that frustration with themselves and society can lead them to consider suicide. Bullying is also discussed as a factor, as bullied teens often feel worthless with very low self-esteem, leading them to depression and potentially suicide. Early detection of mental disorders and treatment is important but not always effective in preventing suicide.
World Suicide Prevention Day Presentation
Presentation delivered as part of #WSPD14 event in Newcastle, Hosted by Lifeline Newcastle and Hunter.
Presentation: Talking about suicide
- Suicide is a preventable public health issue, but talking about it risks unintentionally increasing suicide in vulnerable groups. Careful consideration is needed regarding the focus, audience, format, and location of any discussion.
- One-on-one conversations with those considering suicide or affected by loss can increase understanding and prevent isolation, if the listener avoids judgement, asks directly about thoughts of suicide, and encourages help-seeking.
- Media reporting on suicide methods and glorifying death can increase risk of copycat behavior in vulnerable groups, so care is needed in story details and focus on prevention resources. Social media may both help connections and pose unknown risks regarding moderation.
- Workplace programs should identify and support
FMST Social Anxiety Disorder
This document discusses social anxiety disorder (SAD). It defines SAD as a chronic mental health condition where everyday social interactions cause irrational anxiety, fear, and embarrassment.

SAD affects about 15 million American adults and is often accompanied by other anxiety disorders or depression. The document outlines causes of SAD such as genetic and environmental factors, and treatments including psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medication.
Depression and Suicide
Depression and suicide are serious issues that can affect anyone. Depression involves prolonged feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and helplessness. It ranges from mild to severe. Suicide is often considered a temporary relief from problems rather than seen as death. Warning signs of suicide include talking about killing oneself, giving away possessions, depression, substance abuse, and risk-taking behaviors. Friends can help by listening non-judgmentally, taking threats seriously, and telling responsible adults if safety is a concern. Both depression and suicide require professional help.

Solution for stigma in Jordan and New York City
Here are some ways social media can negatively impact mental health:
- Comparison: It's easy to compare your own life to the highlight reels people post online, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy. The curated lives people portray are often not an accurate reflection of reality.
- FOMO (fear of missing out): Constantly seeing updates about what friends are doing can trigger anxiety that you're not participating or being left out of experiences.
- Cyberbullying: Social media allows bullying to follow people everywhere via hurtful comments and messages. This can damage self-esteem.
- Less face time: Overuse of social media may replace real social interaction and connection, which is important for mental well

Mental Health introduction and a brief indepth.pptx
Mental health refers to an individual's emotional, psychological, and social well-being, and how they think, feel, and behave. It is important at every stage of life from childhood through adulthood. Many factors can influence mental health, including genetics, life experiences, family history, and physical health. Maintaining good mental health involves connecting socially, managing stress, getting treatment if needed, and leading an overall healthy lifestyle. Children's mental health is especially important as their brains are still developing skills for interacting with others and managing emotions.

Friendships
God created humans and the world, yet offers an unlikely friendship with them. The Bible says in John 15:15 that Jesus calls his followers friends rather than servants, since he has shared with them everything he learned from God. The most unlikely friendship is between God and humans, given that God created everything yet allows people to be his friends.

What is conflict resolution?
Conflict resolution refers to finding peaceful solutions to disagreements between two or more parties. There are four key conflict resolution skills: 1) taking a win/win approach to find mutual benefits for all sides, 2) creatively turning problems into possibilities through an optimistic mindset, 3) showing empathy to make other perspectives understood, and 4) asserting one's perspective assertively without attacking others. These skills help connect people and jointly find fair solutions.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
