Brief Summary: In the fight against stigma the focus should be on the education of individuals diagnosed with mental illness Psychoeducation has an important place in the treatment and rehabilitation of mental health problems Psychoeducation is necessary for early recognition of signs and symptoms of diseases ensuring compliance with treatment improving coping skills as well as combating stigma preventing internalized stigma and counteracting social stigma If individuals with mental disorders have adequate knowledge about the causes of stigma they may be less prone to internalized stigma
Detailed Description: The group most exposed to stigma among mental illnesses is individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia These individuals avoid treatment due to fear of stigma which creates a significant obstacle to ensuring their well-being Internalization of stigma causes feelings of loneliness anger helplessness deterioration in quality of life and decrease in self-esteem while at the same time creating a significant barrier to treatment compliance Compliance problems with treatment It causes impairments in functionality relapses and exacerbations repeated hospitalizations adverse effects on quality of life and increased mortality rates The fact that many patients who receive only medical treatment in the treatment of schizophrenia develop negative attitudes towards drug use due to drug side effects and recurrence of disease symptoms reveals that psychosocial approaches should also be given importance in addition to medical treatment As a result it is thought that internalized stigma is a significant obstacle to treatment compliance and practices implemented to reduce internalized stigma are effective in increasing treatment compliance
